This is not very nice, we can safely remove the already dead CPU from the map. The only required change is that destroy_workqueue() must hold the hotplug lock until it destroys all cwq->thread's, to protect the cpu_populated_map. We could make the local copy of cpu mask and drop the lock, but sizeof(cpumask_t) may be very large. Also, fix the comment near queue_work(). Unless _cpu_down() happens we do guarantee the cpu-affinity of the work_struct, and we have users which rely on this.
