The current implementation of cpumask_local_spread() does not respect the
isolated CPUs, i.e., even if a CPU has been isolated for Real-Time task,
it will return it to the caller for pinning of its IRQ threads. Having
these unwanted IRQ threads on an isolated CPU adds up to a latency
overhead.
Restrict the CPUs that are returned for spreading IRQs only to the
available housekeeping CPUs.

AFAICS, this generally resolves to something based on cpu_possible_mask
rather than cpu_online_mask as before, so could now potentially return
an offline CPU. Was that an intentional change?
I was just looking at the current code since I had the rare presence of
mind to check if something suitable already existed before I start
open-coding "any online CPU, but local node preferred" logic for
handling IRQ affinity in a driver - cpumask_local_spread() appears to be
almost what I want (if a bit more heavyweight), if only it would
actually guarantee an online CPU as the kerneldoc claims :(
