Subject: [PATCH 3.16 40/72] s390/topology: avoid firing events before
 kobjs are created

3.16.79-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Vasily Gorbik <gor@...ux.ibm.com>

commit f3122a79a1b0a113d3aea748e0ec26f2cb2889de upstream.

arch_update_cpu_topology is first called from:
kernel_init_freeable->sched_init_smp->sched_init_domains

even before cpus has been registered in:
kernel_init_freeable->do_one_initcall->s390_smp_init

Do not trigger kobject_uevent change events until cpu devices are
actually created. Fixes the following kasan findings:
