Is that enough?
Assume the following:

* CPU 0 is idle and CPU 1 is the migrator
* CPU 1 goes offline and send the above IPI to CPU 0.
* CPU 0 doesn't have any global timer in its own queue, it calls
tmigr_cpu_deactivate() with KTIME_MAX. It's already ->idle, so it
returns ->wakeup that may be KTIME_MAX (also the call to tmigr_new_timer()
is ignored)
* CPU 0 doesn't handle the idle migrator duty

Or is there something else I'm missing?

I guess the effect should be mostly invisible due to the fact the hotplug
BP process has to be carried by another active CPU afterward, which will take
the migrator duty.

But still, it means you may have no migrator between CPUHP_AP_TMIGR_ONLINE and
CPUHP_AP_IDLE_DEAD.

Thanks.
