Subject: [PATCH 1/3] hrtimer: Report offline hrtimer enqueue

The hrtimers migration on CPU-down hotplug process has been moved
earlier, before the CPU actually goes to die. This leaves a small window
of opportunity to queue an hrtimer in a blind spot, leaving it ignored.

For example a practical case has been reported with RCU waking up a
SCHED_FIFO task right before the CPUHP_AP_IDLE_DEAD stage, queuing that
way a sched/rt timer to the local offline CPU.

Make sure such situations never go unnoticed and warn when that happens.

Reported-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@...nel.org>
Fixes: 5c0930ccaad5 ("hrtimers: Push pending hrtimers away from outgoing CPU earlier")
