[PATCH 13/45] timer: Use get/put_online_cpus_atomic() to prevent CPUoffline

From: Srivatsa S. Bhat
Date: Sun Jun 23 2013 - 09:44:29 EST


Once stop_machine() is gone from the CPU offline path, we won't be able
to depend on disabling preemption to prevent CPUs from going offline
from under us.

Use the get/put_online_cpus_atomic() APIs to prevent CPUs from going
offline, while invoking from atomic context.
