I tried to reproduce this issue on Synaptics SoC, but can't reproduce it.
Per my understanding of the code in kernel/irq/cpuhotplug.c, this warning
happened when we migrate irqs away from the offline cpu, this implicitly
implies that before this point the irq has bind to the offline cpu, but how
could this happen given current dw_pci_msi_set_affinity() implementation
always return -EINVAL
