From: Steven Rostedt <rost...@goodmis.org> If we are in nohz and there's still irq_work to be done when the idle task is about to go offline, give a nasty warning. Everything should have been flushed from the CPU_DYING notifier already. Further attempts to enqueue an irq_work are buggy because irqs are disabled by __cpu_disable(). The best we can do is to report the issue to the user.
