In all of the cases below we've chosen an online CPU. So the only way this can
happen is if there is a bug in the code, in which case a WARN_ON() is
appropriate. Also, there are *other* reasons irq_set_affinity() can fail.

There is no external input here. The chosen CPU didn't come from userspace or
an external source; we chose it ourselves based on kernel internal data (e.g.
cpu_online_mask).

So that does not apply here.

I don't see why it is necessary to change to dev_err().

Sorry, I had confused event_function_local() with event_function().

I still think we want to keep the WARN_ON() here since before we get to
event_function_local() we may do other things in the IRQ handler.

Thanks,
Mark.
