commit 82b143aeb169b8b55798d7d2063032e1a6ceeeb0 upstream.
This reverts commit 0921244f6f.
It broke CPU hotplugging because it modifies the __cpu_possible_mask
after bootup, so that it will be different than nr_cpu_ids, which
then effictively breaks the workqueue setup code and triggers crashes
when shutting down CPUs at runtime.
Guenter was the first who noticed the wrong values in __cpu_possible_mask,
since the cpumask Kunit tests were failig.
Reverting this commit fixes both issues, but sadly brings back this
uncritical runtime warning:
register_cpu_capacity_sysctl: too early to get CPU4 device!
