 wakeup is pending

Hi Thomas and Pavankumar,

I have a question about this patch, please see below:

check if freeze_secondary_cpus() is used for system suspend. However,
freeze_secondary_cpus() is also used in kexec path on arm64:

	kernel_kexec():
	  machine_shutdown():
	    disable_nonboot_cpus():
	      freeze_secondary_cpus()

, so I wonder whether the pm_wakeup_pending() makes sense in this
situation? Because IIUC, in this case we want to reboot the system
regardlessly, the pm_wakeup_pending() checking seems to be inappropriate
then.

I'm asking this because I'm debugging a kexec failure on ARM64 guest on
Hyper-V, and I got the BUG_ON() triggered:

[  108.378016] kexec_core: Starting new kernel
[  108.378018] Disabling non-boot CPUs ...
[  108.378019] Wakeup pending. Abort CPU freeze
[  108.378020] Non-boot CPUs are not disabled
[  108.378049] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[  108.378050] kernel BUG at arch/arm64/kernel/machine_kexec.c:154!

Thanks!

Regards,
Boqun
