Apologies, having taken another look, we set the percpu_sink for
a cpu outside smp_call_function(). So, I think your patch is fine.

Do we need to test the cpu here in both places ? We already check that
in the loop entry. The reason why we repeat the check during the probe,
is to skip any CPUs that may have a TRBE not accessible.
