Currently CPU_DEAD uses kthread_stop() to stop cwq->thread and then transfers cwq->worklist to another CPU. However, it is very unlikely that worker_thread() will notice kthread_should_stop() before flushing cwq->worklist. It is only possible if worker_thread() was preempted after run_workqueue(cwq), a new work_struct was added, and CPU_DEAD happened before cwq->thread has a chance to run. This means that take_over_work() mostly adds unneeded complications. Note also that kthread_stop() is not good per se, wake_up_process() may confuse work->func() if it sleeps waiting for some event. Remove take_over_work() and migrate_sequence complications. CPU_DEAD sets the cwq->should_stop flag (introduced by this patch) and waits for cwq->thread to flush cwq->worklist and exit. Because the dead CPU is not on cpu_online_map, no more works can be added to that cwq. cpu_populated_map was introduced to optimize for_each_possible_cpu(), it is not strictly needed, and it is more a documentation in fact. Saves 418 bytes.
