Because of the implementation of is_cpu_allowed(),
I am still suspicious about how the newly created worker can be woken
up in the dying cpu since it has no KTHREAD_IS_PER_CPU set.

Is it a dying cpu when onlining a CPU fails? I think balance_push
is not set in this case when it fails at some point during online.
But I haven't looked into the details and linked the clues.

Can it only be triggered in the rt kernel?

Could you give me the code of this module?
