That's just hiding the warning which might be genuine, irrespective of
what the comment says. Sashiko has some good points:
https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260518033157.1865498-1-enju.kohei@fujitsu.com
Basically what guarantees that the cpu won't go offline? Can we use
migrate_disable() and ignore the smp_call_function_single() altogether?
It looks like a hack anyway.
We should also look at the other unrelated findings in this function
from Sashiko.
