__padata_remove_cpu clears the offlined CPU from the usable masks after

Make the usable masks reflect the offline CPU when they're established
in padata_setup_cpumasks so pd->cpu is initialized properly.

Hi, one more edge case.  All combinations of CPUs among
parallel_cpumask, serial_cpumask, and CPU hotplug have now been tested
in a 4-CPU VM, and an 8-CPU VM has run with random combinations of these
settings for over an hour.

If we modify patch 2/2 by calling this after cpu_online_mask
has been updated then this problem should go away because we
can then remove the cpumask_clear_cpu calls.

Yep, agreed.
