This is now commit 6de3f79112cc26bf in v4.16-rc3, and causes a BUG during
CPU offlining (e.g. during system suspend, or during boot with
CONFIG_ARM_PSCI_CHECKER=y).

With CONFIG_ARM_PSCI_CHECKER=y:

psci_checker: PSCI checker started using 6 CPUs
psci_checker: Starting hotplug tests
psci_checker: Trying to turn off and on again all CPUs
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/irq/manage.c:112

Reverting that commit on v4.16-rc3 fixes the issue.
