this seems more obscure than necessary. Probably a matter of taste but I
would find the following easier to read
		struct vm_struct *vm_stack = cached_vm_stacks[i];

		if (!vm_stack)
			continue;

		vfree(vm_stack);
		cached_vm_stacks[i] = NULL;

I am not familiar the new hotplug infrastructure so I might be missing
something. CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN will allocate a state which is has only
30 slots available. The name also suggests this will be called on an
online event. Why doesn't this have its own state like other users. The
name should also reflect offline event CPUHP_STACK_CACHE_DEAD or
something like that.
