While testing CPU DLPAR, the following problem was discovered.
We were DLPAR removing the first CPU, which in this case was
logical CPUs 0-3. CPUs 0-2 were already marked offline and
we were in the process of offlining CPU 3. After marking
the CPU inactive and offline in cpu_disable, but before the
cpu was completely idle (cpu_die), we ended up in __make_request
on CPU 3. There we looked at the topology map to see which CPU
to complete the I/O on and found no CPUs in the cpu_sibling_map.
This resulted in the block layer setting the completion cpu
to be NR_CPUS, which then caused an oops when we tried to
complete the I/O.
Fix this by delaying clearing the sibling map of the cpu we
are offlining for the cpu we are offlining until cpu_die.
