[ Upstream commit 64ea6e44f85b9b75925ebe1ba0e6e8430cc4e06f ]

Writing the current state back in hotplug/target calls cpu_down()
which will set cpu dying even when it isn't and then nothing will
ever clear it. A stress test that reads values and writes them back
for all cpu device files in sysfs will trigger the BUG() in
select_fallback_rq once all cpus are marked as dying.

kernel/cpu.c::target_store()
...
        if (st->state < target)
                ret = cpu_up(dev->id, target);
        else
                ret = cpu_down(dev->id, target);

cpu_down() -> cpu_set_state()
 bool bringup = st->state < target;
 ...
 if (cpu_dying(cpu) != !bringup)
set_cpu_dying(cpu, !bringup);

Fix this by letting state==target fall through in the target_store()
conditional. Also make sure st->target == target in that case.
