The built-in idle masks are reset with all online CPUs marked idle, but idle state tracking starts only after the scheduler is fully enabled. As a result, ops.init() can observe busy CPUs as idle, and those CPUs remain incorrectly advertised until their next idle transition. Enable built-in idle tracking before ops.init() and refresh every online CPU under its rq lock. Once a CPU is refreshed, later transitions keep its state accurate. Keep ops.update_idle() notifications disabled until the scheduler is fully enabled.
