While reading all this again, I realized it's not too hard to get rid of
stop-machine here.

void __raw_rq_lock(struct rq *rq)
{
	raw_spinlock_t *lock;

	for (;;) {
		lock = rq_lockp(rq);

		raw_spin_lock(lock);
		if (lock == rq_lock(rq))
			return;
		raw_spin_unlock(lock);
	}
}

void __sched_core_enable(int core, bool enable)
{
	const cpumask *smt_mask;
	int cpu, i;

	smt_mask = cpu_smt_mask(core);

	for_each_cpu(cpu, smt_mask)
		raw_spin_lock_nested(&cpu_rq(cpu)->__lock, i++);

	for_each_cpu(cpu, smt_mask)
		cpu_rq(cpu)->core_enabled = enable;

	for_each_cpu(cpu, smt_mask)
		raw_spin_unlock(&cpu_rq(cpu)->__lock);
}
