HWPOISON: Allow schedule_on_each_cpu() from keventd
Right now when calling schedule_on_each_cpu() from keventd there is a deadlock because it tries to schedule a work item on the current CPU too. This happens via lru_add_drain_all() in hwpoison. Just call the function for the current CPU in this case. This is actually faster too. Debugging with Fengguang Wu & Max Asbock Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>
