Except that if the outgoing CPU will leave that structure without any online CPUs, the mask is set to the housekeeping CPU mask from housekeeping_cpumask(). Which is fine unless the outgoing CPU happens to be a housekeeping CPU. This commit therefore removes the outgoing CPU from the housekeeping mask. This would of course be problematic if the outgoing CPU was the last online housekeeping CPU, but in that case you are in a world of hurt anyway. If someone comes up with a valid use case for a system needing all the housekeeping CPUs to be offline, further adjustments can be made. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
