This routine is called as wq handler. Which will recover dbs_info from work
using container_of. Which would give dbs_info_local for the cpu j.

Then we will execute below code.

+       /* use leader CPU's dbs_info */
+       dbs_info = &per_cpu(od_cpu_dbs_info, dbs_info_local->cdbs.cpu);

dbs_info_local->cdbs.cpu was uninitialized for all cpus except policy->cpu.
And so, might be initialized with 0 as its a global variable... But if you
offline cpu 0 and online it back, then policy->cpu would be 1 and this logic,
which worked by mistake will fail.

+       mutex_lock(&dbs_info->cdbs.timer_mutex);
+
+       time_now = ktime_get();
+       delta_us = ktime_us_delta(time_now, dbs_info->cdbs.time_stamp);

and so as this.

Correct?
