Looks like a regular affinity setting in interrupt context, but I can't
make sense of the time stamps

So this is a CPU offline operation and after that irq 122 is silent, right?

That kworker context looks fishy. Can you please enable stacktraces in
the tracer so I can see the call chains leading to this? OTOH that's irq
121 not 122. Anyway moar information is always useful.

And please add the patch below.

Thanks,
