sched/core: Fix illegal RCU from offline CPUs

In the CPU-offline process, it calls mmdrop() after idle entry and the subsequent call to cpuhp_report_idle_dead(). Once execution passes the call to rcu_report_dead(), RCU is ignoring the CPU, which results in lockdep complaining when mmdrop() uses RCU from either memcg or debugobjects below. Fix it by cleaning up the active_mm state from BP instead. Every arch which has CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU should have already called idle_task_exit() from AP. The only exception is parisc because it switches them to &init_mm unconditionally (see smp_boot_one_cpu() and smp_cpu_init()), but the patch will still work there because it calls mmgrab(&init_mm) in smp_cpu_init() and then should call mmdrop(&init_mm) in finish_cpu(). WARNING: suspicious RCU usage ----------------------------- kernel/workqueue.c:710 RCU or wq_pool_mutex should be held! other info that might help us debug this: RCU used illegally from offline CPU!
