workqueue: Don't call cpumask_test_cpu() with -1 CPU in wq_update_node_max_active()
[ Upstream commit 15930da42f8981dc42c19038042947b475b19f47 ]
For wq_update_node_max_active(), @off_cpu of -1 indicates that no CPU is
going down. The function was incorrectly calling cpumask_test_cpu() with -1
CPU leading to oopses like the following on some archs:
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffff0002100296e0

pc : wq_update_node_max_active+0x50/0x1fc
