Subject: [ 05/11] PM / reboot: call syscore_shutdown() after disable_nonboot_cpus()

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Huacai Chen <chenhc@...ote.com>

commit 6f389a8f1dd22a24f3d9afc2812b30d639e94625 upstream.

As commit 40dc166c (PM / Core: Introduce struct syscore_ops for core
subsystems PM) say, syscore_ops operations should be carried with one
CPU on-line and interrupts disabled. However, after commit f96972f2d
(kernel/sys.c: call disable_nonboot_cpus() in kernel_restart()),
syscore_shutdown() is called before disable_nonboot_cpus(), so break
the rules. We have a MIPS machine with a 8259A PIC, and there is an
external timer (HPET) linked at 8259A. Since 8259A has been shutdown
too early (by syscore_shutdown()), disable_nonboot_cpus() runs without
timer interrupt, so it hangs and reboot fails. This patch call
syscore_shutdown() a little later (after disable_nonboot_cpus()) to
avoid reboot failure, this is the same way as poweroff does.

For consistency, add disable_nonboot_cpus() to kernel_halt().
