[RFC][4.1.5-rt5 PATCH] ARM: smp: __cpu_disable: fix sleeping function called from invalid context

From: Grygorii Strashko

When running with the RT-kernel (4.1.5-rt5) on TI OMAP dra7-evm and trying
to do Suspend to RAM, the following backtrace occurs:

Disabling non-boot CPUs ...

Also, sometimes system stucks right after displaying "Disabling non-boot
CPUs ...". The root cause of above backtrace is task_lock() which takes
a sleeping lock on -RT.

To fix the issue, move clear_tasks_mm_cpumask() call from __cpu_disable()
to __cpu_die() which is called on the thread which is asking for a target
CPU to be shutdown. In addition, this change restores CPUhotplug functionality
on TI OMAP dra7-evm and CPU1 can be unplugged/plugged many times.

RFC: I'm not sure how safe this change is and will be appreciated for any comments.
Most of arches call clear_tasks_mm_cpumask() from __cpu_disable(), but *powerpc*
calls it from CPU_DEAD notifier. This patch follows powerpc's approach in
general.
