Subject: [PATCH 3.19 115/177] arm64: apply alternatives for !SMP kernels

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

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

From: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@....com>

commit 137650aad96c9594683445e41afa8ac5a2097520 upstream.

Currently we only perform alternative patching for kernels built with
CONFIG_SMP, as we call apply_alternatives_all() in smp.c, which is only
built for CONFIG_SMP. Thus !SMP kernels may not have necessary
alternatives patched in.

This patch ensures that we call apply_alternatives_all() once all CPUs
are booted, even for !SMP kernels, by having the smp_init_cpus() stub
call this for !SMP kernels via up_late_init. A new wrapper,
do_post_cpus_up_work, is added so we can hook other calls here later
(e.g. boot mode logging).
