When a CPU is finally put down in either CPU_UP_CANCELLED or
CPU_POST_DEAD, cpu_stop_cpu_callback() signals immediate completion on
all cpu_stop_works still queued on the dead CPU; unfortunately, this
code is buggy in that it doesn't remove the canceled work items off
the stopper->works leaving it corrupted, which will trigger BUG_ON()
during CPU_UP_PREPARE if the CPU is brought back online.
This bug isn't easily triggered because CPU_DOWN has to race against
cpu_stop calls and most, if not all, cpu stop users pin target CPUs.
Fix it by popping each work item off stopper->works.

I think your previous version was better with @work declaration moved
inside the while() loop.
Thanks.
