[patch V2 13/24] powerpc/powernv: Use stop_machine_cpuslocked()

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Tue Apr 18 2017 - 15:54:10 EST


set_subcores_per_core() holds get_online_cpus() while invoking stop_machine().

stop_machine() invokes get_online_cpus() as well. This is correct, but
prevents the conversion of the hotplug locking to a percpu rwsem.

Use stop_machine_cpuslocked() to avoid the nested call.
