Where the condition: !cpus_share_cache(smp_processor_id(), cpu)
already implies 'cpu != smp_processor_id()', because a CPU always shares cache with itself, the secondary condition added in commit: 2ebb17717550 ("sched/core: Offload wakee task activation if it the wakee is descheduling") voids that implication, resulting in attempting to do local wake-ups through the queue mechanism.
