The helper function _offline_cpu() sets a value to RESTORE_CPUS_ONLINE. However, the commit bd6b882b2650 ("block/008: check CPU offline failure due to many IRQs") put _offline_cpu() call in sub-shell, then the set value to RESTORE_CPUS_ONLINE no longer affects function caller's environment. This resulted in offlined CPUs not restored by _cleanup() when the test case block/008 calls only _offline_cpu() and does not call _online_cpu(). To fix the issue, avoid _offline_cpu() call in sub-shell. Use file redirect to get output of _offline_cpu() instead of sub-shell execution.
