You mean move the logic of tick_nohz_cpu_down() into
tick_nohz_cpu_hotpluggable()? That wont work because
tick_nohz_cpu_hotpluggable() returns a boolean, while tick_nohz_cpu_down(cpu)
returns an integer.

I could do something like the following and that should prevent the accident
you mentioned, which I think is that someone accidentally adds some code with
side-effects to tick_nohz_cpu_down() and ends up changing the behavior of
tick_nohz_cpu_hotpluggable(). Or was there a different accident you were
referring to?

I will submit a patch like the following, then. Thanks.
