| Kernel panic - not syncing: UBSAN: integer subtraction overflow: Fatal
exception
This is due to shift_and_mask() using a signed immediate to construct
the mask and being called with a shift of 31 (WORK_OFFQ_POOL_SHIFT) so
that it ends up decrementing from INT_MIN.
Use an unsigned constant ‘1U’ to generate the mask in shift_and_mask().
