So, during boot, workqueue builds masks of possible cpus of each node
and stores them on wq_numa_possible_cpumask[] array.  The warning is
saying that somehow online cpumask of a node became a superset of the
possible mask, which should never happen.

Dumping all masks in wq_numa_possible_cpumasks[] and cpumask_of_node()
of each node should show what's going on.

Thanks.
