I think we can trigger this at will.. Set affinity to the CPU you're
going to take offline and offline concurrently.

It is possible for the offline to happen between task_rq_unlock() and
stop_one_cpu(), at which point the WARM will then trigger.

The point is; and maybe this should be a comment somewhere; that if this
fails, there is nothing we can do about it, and it should be fixed up by
migrate_tasks()/select_task_rq().

There is no point in propagating the error to userspace, since if we'd
have slightly different timing and completed the stop_one_cpu() before
the hot-un-plug, migrate_tasks()/select_task_rq() would've had to fix up
anyway.
