[PATCH] fix workqueue oops during cpu offline
Use first_cpu(cpu_possible_map) for the single-thread workqueue case. We used to hardcode 0, but that broke on systems where !cpu_possible(0) when workqueue_struct->cpu_workqueue_struct was changed from a static array to alloc_percpu. Commit id bce61dd49d6ba7799be2de17c772e4c701558f14 ("Fix hardcoded cpu=0 in workqueue for per_cpu_ptr() calls") fixed that for Ben's funky sparc64 system, but it regressed my Power5. Offlining cpu 0 oopses upon the next call to queue_work for a single-thread workqueue, because now we try to manipulate per_cpu_ptr(wq->cpu_wq, 1), which is uninitialized. So we need to establish an unchanging "slot" for single-thread workqueues which will have a valid percpu allocation. Since alloc_percpu keys off of cpu_possible_map, which must not change after initialization, make this slot == first_cpu(cpu_possible_map).
