Create for_each_node_online_cpu() instead? Seems a bit pointless to
iterate possible mask only to then check it against the online mask.
Just iterate the online mask directly.

Or better yet, write this as:

	preempt_disable();
	cpu = cpumask_next(rnp->grplo - 1, cpu_online_mask);
	if (cpu > rnp->grphi)
		cpu = WORK_CPU_UNBOUND;
	queue_work_on(cpu, rcu_par_gp_wq, &rnp->rew.rew_work);
	preempt_enable();

Which is what it appears to be doing.
