In the CPU-offline process, it calls mmdrop() after idle entry and the
subsequent call to cpuhp_report_idle_dead(). Once execution passes the
call to rcu_report_dead(), RCU is ignoring the CPU, which results in
lockdep complaints when mmdrop() uses RCU from either memcg or
debugobjects, so it by scheduling mmdrop() on another online CPU.
According to the commit a79e53d85683 ("x86/mm: Fix pgd_lock deadlock"),
mmdrop() is not interrupt-safe, and called from
smp_call_function_single() could end up running mmdrop() from the IPI
interrupt handler.
Call Trace:

Therefore, use mmdrop_async() instead to run mmdrop() from a process
context similar to the commit 7283094ec3db ("kernel, oom: fix potential
pgd_lock deadlock from __mmdrop").
