If this CPU is part of the domain, then cpumask_any() could chose a different CPU leading
to an IPI, where this CPU could have done the work itself.
smp_call_function_any() has the logic to try and run on this CPU if possible.
As d->cpu_mask is still valid when you call smp_call_function_single(), could we use
smp_call_function_any() instead?

Same comment about picking an unlucky CPU here, smp_call_function_any() can improve our
chances.
