Subject: [PATCH 1/2] stop_machine: check work->done while handling enqueued works

The comment just above cpu_stop_signal_done() says it is uncertain that
the input @done is valid, and the works enqueued through the function
stop_one_cpu_nowait() do carry no done, thus we have to check if it is
valid when updating work result.
