It is possible for dumping 'first_and' when there isn't any online CPUs mapped
to this hctx.

But my question is that for this case, there shouldn't be any IO queued
for this hctx, and blk_mq_hctx_has_pending() has been called to check
that, so blk_mq_hctx_next_cpu() should have only be called when
blk_mq_hctx_has_pending() in blk_mq_run_hw_queue() is true.
