Peter Zijlstra 5ba2ffba13 sched: Fix CPU hotplug / tighten is_per_cpu_kthread()
Prior to commit 1cf12e08bc ("sched/hotplug: Consolidate task
migration on CPU unplug") we'd leave any task on the dying CPU and
break affinity and force them off at the very end.

This scheme had to change in order to enable migrate_disable(). One
cannot wait for migrate_disable() to complete while stuck in
stop_machine(). Furthermore, since we need at the very least: idle,
hotplug and stop threads at any point before stop_machine, we can't
break affinity and/or push those away.

Under the assumption that all per-cpu kthreads are sanely handled by
CPU hotplug, the new code no long breaks affinity or migrates any of
them (which then includes the critical ones above).

However, there's an important difference between per-cpu kthreads and
kthreads that happen to have a single CPU affinity which is lost. The
latter class very much relies on the forced affinity breaking and
migration semantics previously provided.

Use the new kthread_is_per_cpu() infrastructure to tighten
is_per_cpu_kthread() and fix the hot-unplug problems stemming from the
change.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
