    commit 5a6024f1604eef119cf3a6fa413fe0261a81a8f3 upstream.
    
    When hot-adding and onlining CPU, kernel panic occurs, showing following
    call trace.

    In my investigation, I found the root cause is wq_numa_possible_cpumask.
    All entries of wq_numa_possible_cpumask is allocated by
    alloc_cpumask_var_node(). And these entries are used without initializing.
    So these entries have wrong value.
    
    When hot-adding and onlining CPU, wq_update_unbound_numa() is called.
    wq_update_unbound_numa() calls alloc_unbound_pwq(). And alloc_unbound_pwq()
    calls get_unbound_pool(). In get_unbound_pool(), worker_pool->node is set
    as follow:
    
    3592         /* if cpumask is contained inside a NUMA node, we belong to that node */
    3593         if (wq_numa_enabled) {
    3594                 for_each_node(node) {
    3595                         if (cpumask_subset(pool->attrs->cpumask,
    3596                                            wq_numa_possible_cpumask[node])) {
    3597                                 pool->node = node;
    3598                                 break;
    3599                         }
    3600                 }
    3601         }
    
    But wq_numa_possible_cpumask[node] does not have correct cpumask. So, wrong
    node is selected. As a result, kernel panic occurs.
    
    By this patch, all entries of wq_numa_possible_cpumask are allocated by
    zalloc_cpumask_var_node to initialize them. And the panic disappeared.
