cpufreq: Avoid leaving stale IRQ work items during CPU offline
The scheduler code calling cpufreq_update_util() may run during CPU offline on the target CPU after the IRQ work lists have been flushed for it, so the target CPU should be prevented from running code that may queue up an IRQ work item on it at that point. Unfortunately, that may not be the case if dvfs_possible_from_any_cpu is set for at least one cpufreq policy in the system, because that allows the CPU going offline to run the utilization update callback of the cpufreq governor on behalf of another (online) CPU in some cases. If that happens, the cpufreq governor callback may queue up an IRQ work on the CPU running it, which is going offline, and the IRQ work may not be flushed after that point. Moreover, that IRQ work cannot be flushed until the "offlining" CPU goes back online, so if any other CPU calls irq_work_sync() to wait for the completion of that IRQ work, it will have to wait until the "offlining" CPU is back online and that ma...
