Please STOP USING THAT HORRIBLE "work_on_cpu()" crap.
Is there any reason you do that? We've had to fix up the fallout from that
kind of crazy crap several times.
Just use a regular IPI. Use "smp_call_function_[single|many]()" instead.
See for example commit 01599fca6758d2cd133e78f87426fc851c9ea725, where
another "work_on_cpu()" thing was broken.
I don't understand why you guys keep on using that _known_ bad function.
The whole point of "work_on_cpu()" is for big, slow, and rare things. Not
as a random "let's make that CPU do this".
So stop it.
