Subject: [PATCH] blk-mq: Make running from the wrong CPU less scary

The current warning looks aweful like a proper crash. This is
confusing. There is not much information to gained from the stack
trace anyway, let's drop it.

While at it print the cpumask as there might be additial helpful
information when debugging the sitation.

Hi,

We got a report from a customer because he was concerned about the log
entries. As it turns out, it fooled me too to be honest. What do you
think about making it a bit less look-a-like a kernel oops?
