__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. It is not required for correctness to invoke __blk_mq_run_hw_queue() on a CPU matching hctx->cpumask. Both (async and direct requests) can run on a CPU not matching hctx->cpumask. The CPU mask without disabling preemption and invoking __blk_mq_run_hw_queue().
