Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Add a warnings in sync_sched_exp_online_cleanup()

Currently, the sync_sched_exp_online_cleanup() is invoked in
cpuhp per-cpu kthreads when CPU is going online, so the CPU id
obtained by get_cpu() should always be equal to the CPU id of
the passed parameter, that is to say, the smp_call_function_single()
never be invoked, if be invoked, there may be problem with cpu-hotplug,
this commit add WARN_ON_ONCE() to remind everyone.
