Maybe local_irq_disable should be before smp_send_stop() to avoid
deadlocks (same below)?

See for example commit 44424c34049f41123a3a8b4853822f47f4ff03a2 ("ARM:
7803/1: Fix deadlock scenario with smp_send_stop()").

Perhaps we could have a grace period like ARM does here:

Otherwise with this patch a reboot on Malta usually shows some/all of
this pr_emerg message prior to actually restarting. (Arguably thats a
failing of Malta's _machine_restart not to have a delay... thoughts?).
