I'm a little confused by the order of operation.  We now have two
different hierarchical walks for hotplug propagation, right?  I
suppose the above one is added because we now also need to update the
mask when cpus are being brought online?

I wonder whether it'd be possible to merge the two paths.  My
suspicion is that we probably don't need propagate_hotplug_work
anymore now that we can drop RCU read lock while doing the pre-order
walk.  What do you think?

Thanks.
