commit 829e0c9f0855f26b3ae830d17b24aec103f7e915 upstream.

There is another found exception that the "timerlat/1" thread was
scheduled on CPU0, and lead to timer corruption finally:

```

```

After tracing the scheduling event, it was discovered that the migration
of the "timerlat/1" thread was performed during thread creation. Further
analysis confirmed that it is because the CPU online processing for
osnoise is implemented through workers, which is asynchronous with the
offline processing. When the worker was scheduled to create a thread, the
CPU may has already been removed from the cpu_online_mask during the offline
process, resulting in the inability to select the right CPU:

T1                       | T2
[CPUHP_ONLINE]           | cpu_device_down()
osnoise_hotplug_workfn() |
                         |     cpus_write_lock()
                         |     takedown_cpu(1)
                         |     cpus_write_unlock()
[CPUHP_OFFLINE]          |
    cpus_read_lock()     |
    start_kthread(1)     |
    cpus_read_unlock()   |

To fix this, skip online processing if the CPU is already offline.
