[GIT pull] smp/hotplug updates for 4.13

From: Thomas Gleixner

Linus,

please pull the latest smp-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git smp-urgent-for-linus

A single fix for a brown paperbag bug:

- The unparking of the initial percpu threads of an upcoming CPU happens
right now on the idle task, but that's wrong as the unpark function
might sleep. Move it to the control CPU.

Thanks,

tglx
