Subject: [PATCH 1/8] stop_machine: cpu_stopper_thread() must check done !=
	NULL

stop_one_cpu_nowait(fn) will crash the kernel if the callback returns
nonzero, work->done == NULL in this case.

This needs more cleanups, cpu_stop_signal_done() is called right after
we check done != NULL and it does the same check.
