Why do you insist on having another status variable, which does
actually nothing than obfuscate the code?

Look at the usage sites:

__this_cpu_write(cmci_storm_state, CMCI_STORM_SUBSIDED);
+ __this_cpu_write(cmci_storm_hcpu_status, CMCI_STORM_HCPU_NONE);

Because here I can't substitute CMCI_STORM_HCPU_NONE with
CMCI_STORM_SUBSIDED. If so, the status is chaos.
