Given that cpumask_first_and() will return nr_cpu_ids in this case,
can't we just bail out here and have to caller handle the error? I am
able to reproduce the crash you reported in [1] and the fix [2] here
works for me:

--- a/block/blk-mq.c

@@ -469,6 +469,8 @@ struct request *blk_mq_alloc_request_hctx(struct request_queue *q,
        if (!blk_mq_hw_queue_mapped(data.hctx))
                goto out_queue_exit;
        cpu = cpumask_first_and(data.hctx->cpumask, cpu_online_mask);
+       if (cpu >= nr_cpu_ids)

        data.ctx = __blk_mq_get_ctx(q, cpu);
 
        if (!q->elevator)
