Dave Jones reports that offlining a CPU leads to this trace:

numa_remove_cpu cpu 1 node 0: mask now 0,2-3
smpboot: CPU 1 is now offline
BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code:

caller is cmci_rediscover+0x6a/0xe0

However, a look at cmci_rediscover shows that it can be simplified quite
a bit, apart from solving the above issue. It invokes functions that
take spin locks with interrupts disabled, and hence it can run in atomic
context. Also, it is run in the CPU_POST_DEAD phase, so the dying CPU
is already dead and out of the cpu_online_mask. So take these points into
account and simplify the code, and thereby also fix the above issue.
