Right. This is what I have at the moment. Tested with QEMU memory
hotplug. Can you please give it try too? Thanks.

    cgroup_lock()
    cpus_read_lock()
    get_online_mems()

        if (enable)
            static_branch_enable_cpuslocked()
        else
            static_branch_disable_cpuslocked()

    put_online_mems()
    cpus_read_unlock()
    cgroup_unlock()
