[PATCH 1.5/2] generic-smp: fix initial quiesent count.

[Peter Zijlstra]

Subject: generic-smp: fix initial quiesent count.
From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@xxxxxxxxx>
Date: Sat Feb 14 15:36:07 CET 2009

If we start with a quiesent sequence count of 0, we'll match the initial stamp
values of the cfd_data, and never make any progress.

To avoid getting stuck in this situation, start out with an increased quiesent
sequence count.
