My bad.

I thought you had only two comments which ware handled in v7.
It was considered (with my laziness) too less to be renarrated.

In [2/4 V6]: 
```quote from TJ:
And we're dropping online_cpus locking before applying the new pwq's.
Is that safe?
```

It was my fault, I didn't remember when I wrongly moved the code.
The patch had been tried my best keep functionality unchanged.
It is fixed in [1/3 V7].

----

The changes from [4/4 V6] to [3/3 V7]:
ctx->attrs (the original configured value) is not calculated until
it is saved into ctx->attrs, and a corresponding local-var is killed.

Could you please consider it as [0/3 V7] this time?

Thx
Lai.
