[patch 1/2] stop_machine: enable __stop_machine() to be called from the cpu online path

[Suresh Siddha]

Currently stop machine infrastructure can be called only from a cpu that is
online. But for !CONFIG_SMP, we do allow calling __stop_machine() before the
cpu is online.

x86 for example requires stop machine infrastructure in the cpu online path
and currently implements its own stop machine (using stop_one_cpu_nowait())
for MTRR initialization in the cpu online path.

Enhance the __stop_machine() so that it can be called before the cpu
is onlined. This will pave the way for code consolidation and address potential
deadlocks caused by multiple mechanisms of doing system wide rendezvous.

This will also address the behavioral differences of __stop_machine()
between SMP and UP builds.
