IIUC, this represents the case when there is no online CPU that can
run this task. In this situation guarantee_online_cpus() will return
an online CPU which can't run the task (because we ignore
possible_mask). I don't think this can be considered a valid fallback
path. However I think patch [13/15] ensures that we never end up in
this situation by disallowing to offline the last 32-bit capable CPU.
If that's true then maybe the patches can be reordered so that [13/15]
comes before this one and this condition can be treated as a bug here?
