Allocating a cpumask on stack is not really a good idea as it takes up
to 1K stack space.

You can spare that excercise. See below.

Just open code it this way:

        for_each_cpu_and(cpu, cpu_online_mask, housekeeping_cpumask(HK_TYPE_DOMAIN)) {
        	if (cpu != work.cpu)
  			return work_on_cpu(cpu, __cpu_down_maps_locked, &work);
	}
        return -EBUSY;

Hmm?
