Pull kthread updates from Frederic Weisbecker:
 "Kthreads affinity follow either of 4 existing different patterns:

   1) Per-CPU kthreads must stay affine to a single CPU and never
      execute relevant code on any other CPU. This is currently handled
      by smpboot code which takes care of CPU-hotplug operations.
      Affinity here is a correctness constraint.

   2) Some kthreads _have_ to be affine to a specific set of CPUs and
      can't run anywhere else. The affinity is set through
      kthread_bind_mask() and the subsystem takes care by itself to
      handle CPU-hotplug operations. Affinity here is assumed to be a
      correctness constraint.

   3) Per-node kthreads _prefer_ to be affine to a specific NUMA node.
      This is not a correctness constraint but merely a preference in
      terms of memory locality. kswapd and kcompactd both fall into this
      category. The affinity is set manually like for any other task and
      CPU-hotplug is supposed to be handled by the relevant subsystem so
      that the task is properly reaffined whenever a given CPU from the
      node comes up. Also care should be taken so that the node affinity
      doesn't cross isolated (nohz_full) cpumask boundaries.

   4) Similar to the previous point except kthreads have a _preferred_
      affinity different than a node. Both RCU boost kthreads and RCU
      exp kworkers fall into this category as they refer to "RCU nodes"
      from a distinctly distributed tree.

  Currently the preferred affinity patterns (3 and 4) have at least 4
  identified users, with more or less success when it comes to handle
  CPU-hotplug operations and CPU isolation. Each of which do it in its
  own ad-hoc way.

  This is an infrastructure proposal to handle this with the following
  API changes:

   - kthread_create_on_node() automatically affines the created kthread
     to its target node unless it has been set as per-cpu or bound with
     kthread_bind[_mask]() before the first wake-up.

   - kthread_affine_preferred() is a new function that can be called
     right after kthread_create_on_node() to specify a preferred
     affinity different than the specified node.

  When the preferred affinity can't be applied because the possible
  targets are offline or isolated (nohz_full), the kthread is affine to
  the housekeeping CPUs (which means to all online CPUs most of the time
  or only the non-nohz_full CPUs when nohz_full= is set).

  kswapd, kcompactd, RCU boost kthreads and RCU exp kworkers have been
  converted, along with a few old drivers.

  Summary of the changes:

   - Consolidate a bunch of ad-hoc implementations of
     kthread_run_on_cpu()

   - Introduce task_cpu_fallback_mask() that defines the default last
     resort affinity of a task to become nohz_full aware

   - Add some correctness check to ensure kthread_bind() is always
     called before the first kthread wake up.

   - Default affine kthread to its preferred node.

   - Convert kswapd / kcompactd and remove their halfway working ad-hoc
     affinity implementation

   - Implement kthreads preferred affinity

   - Unify kthread worker and kthread API's style

   - Convert RCU kthreads to the new API and remove the ad-hoc affinity
     implementation"
