Subject: [PATCH 3/3] stop_machine: implement stop_machine_from_offline_cpu()
Currently, mtrr wants stop_machine functionality while a CPU is being
brought up. As stop_machine() requires the calling CPU to be online,
mtrr implements its own stop_machine using stop_one_cpu() on each
online CPU. This doesn't only unnecessarily duplicate complex logic
but also introduces a possibility of deadlock when it races against
the generic stop_machine().
This patch implements stop_machine_from_offline_cpu() to serve such
use cases. Its functionality is basically the same to stop_machine();
however, it should be called from a CPU which isn't online and doesn't
depend on working scheduling on the calling CPU.
This is achieved by using busy loops for synchronization and
open-coding stop_cpus queueing and waiting with direct invocation of
fn() for local CPU inbetween.
This is inspired from Suresh's patch to implement similar
functionality into stop_machine().
