The parallel queue per-cpu data structure gets initialized only for CPUs in the 'pcpu' CPU mask set. This is not sufficient as the reorder timer may run on a different CPU and might wrongly decide it's the target CPU for the next reorder item as per-cpu memory gets memset(0) and we might be waiting for the first CPU in cpumask.pcpu, i.e. cpu_index 0. Make the '__this_cpu_read(pd->pqueue->cpu_index) == next_queue->cpu_index' compare in padata_get_next() fail in this case by initializing the cpu_index member of all per-cpu parallel queues. Use -1 for unused ones.
