Even after mm/vmstat:online teardown, shepherd may still queue work for
the dying cpu until the cpu is removed from online mask. While it's quite
rare, this means that after unbind_workers() unbinds a per-cpu kworker, it
potentially runs vmstat_update for the dying CPU on an irrelevant cpu
before entering atomic AP states. When CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y, it results
in the following error with the backtrace.
BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: \
kworker/7:3/1702
caller is refresh_cpu_vm_stats+0x235/0x5f0
CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 1702 Comm: kworker/7:3 Tainted: G
Tainted: [N]=TEST
Workqueue: mm_percpu_wq vmstat_update
Call Trace:

So, for mm/vmstat:online, disable vmstat_work reliably on teardown and
symmetrically enable it on startup.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
