Would it be easier like this?

for (cpu = 1; cpu < smp_load_acquire(&rtp->percpu_dequeue_lim); cpu++) {
if (!cpu_possible(cpu))
continue;
rtpcp_next = per_cpu_ptr(rtp->rtpcpu, cpu);
cpuwq = rcu_cpu_beenfullyonline(cpu) ? cpu : WORK_CPU_UNBOUND;
queue_work_on(cpuwq, system_wq, &rtpcp_next->rtp_work);
}
