Subject: [PATCH 4.14 103/165] stop_machine: Reflow cpu_stop_queue_two_works()

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

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

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>

commit b80a2bfce85e1051056d98d04ecb2d0b55cbbc1c upstream.

The code flow in cpu_stop_queue_two_works() is a little arcane; fix this by
lifting the preempt_disable() to the top to create more natural nesting wrt
the spinlocks and make the wake_up_q() and preempt_enable() unconditional
at the end.

Furthermore, enable preemption in the -EDEADLK case, such that we spin-wait
with preemption enabled.
