__blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queue() disables preemption to get a stable current CPU number and then invokes __blk_mq_run_hw_queue() if the CPU number is part the mask. __blk_mq_run_hw_queue() acquires a spin_lock_t which is a sleeping lock on PREEMPT_RT and can't be acquired with disabled preemption. If it is important that the current CPU matches the requested CPU mask and that the context does not migrate to another CPU while __blk_mq_run_hw_queue() is invoked then it possible to achieve this by disabling migration and keeping the context preemptible. Disable only migration while testing the CPU mask and invoking __blk_mq_run_hw_queue().
