Subject: [PATCH 02/10] workqueue: use cpu_possible_mask instead of cpu_active_mask to break affinity

From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@...ux.alibaba.com>

There might be other CPU online. The workers losing binding on its CPU
should have chance to work on those later onlined CPUs.

Fixes: 06249738a41a ("workqueue: Manually break affinity on hotplug")
