commit 350ef88e7e922354f82a931897ad4a4ce6c686ff upstream.
If the algorithm we're parallelizing is asynchronous we might change CPUs between padata_do_parallel() and padata_do_serial(). However, we don't expect this to happen as we need to enqueue the padata object into the per-cpu reorder queue we took it from, i.e. the same-cpu's parallel queue.
Ensure we're not switching CPUs for a given padata object by tracking the CPU within the padata object. If the serial callback gets called on the wrong CPU, defer invoking padata_reorder() via a kernel worker on the CPU we're expected to run on.
