5.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 7dd47617114921fdd8c095509e5e7b4373cc44a1 upstream. The rework of the watchdog core to use cpu_stop_work broke the watchdog cpumask on CPU hotplug. The watchdog_enable/disable() functions are now called unconditionally from the hotplug callback, i.e. even on CPUs which are not in the watchdog cpumask. As a consequence the watchdog can become unstoppable. Only invoke them when the plugged CPU is in the watchdog cpumask.
