Description: description_data: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

workqueue: Don't call cpumask_test_cpu() with -1 CPU in wq_update_node_max_active()

For wq_update_node_max_active(), @off_cpu of -1 indicates that no CPU is
going down. The function was incorrectly calling cpumask_test_cpu() with -1
CPU leading to oopses like the following on some archs:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffff0002100296e0
  ..
  pc : wq_update_node_max_active+0x50/0x1fc
