Subject: [PATCH] Do not change worker's running cpu in cmci_rediscover().

1. cmci_rediscover() is only called by the CPU_POST_DEAD event handler, which
means the corresponding cpu has already dead. As a result, it won't be accessed
in the for_each_online_cpu loop.
So, we could change the if(cpu == dying) statement into a BUG_ON().

2. cmci_rediscover() used set_cpus_allowed_ptr() to change the current process's
running cpu, and migrate itself to the dest cpu. But worker processes are not
allowed to be migrated. If current is a worker, the worker will be migrated to
another cpu, but the corresponding  worker_pool is still on the original cpu.

In this case, the following BUG_ON in try_to_wake_up_local() will be triggered:
BUG_ON(rq != this_rq());

This will cause the kernel panic.

This patch removes the set_cpus_allowed_ptr() call, and put the cmci rediscover
jobs onto all the other cpus using system_wq. This could bring some delay for
the jobs.

The following is call trace.
