Subject: [PATCH] padata: ensure the reorder timer callback runs on the correct

 CPU

Git-commit: cf5868c8a22dc2854b96e9569064bb92365549ca

References: git-fixes

Patch-mainline: v4.15-rc1

The reorder timer function runs on the CPU where the timer interrupt was

handled which is not necessarily one of the CPUs of the 'pcpu' CPU mask

set.

Ensure the padata_reorder() callback runs on the correct CPU, which is

one in the 'pcpu' CPU mask set and, preferrably, the next expected one.

Do so by comparing the current CPU with the expected target CPU. If they

match, call padata_reorder() right away. If they differ, schedule a work

item on the target CPU that does the padata_reorder() call for us.
