Subject: [PATCH v8 2/9] cpu/hotplug: Move idle_thread_get() to <linux/smpboot.h>

From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@...zon.co.uk>

Instead of relying purely on the special-case wrapper in bringup_cpu()
to pass the idle thread to __cpu_up(), expose idle_thread_get() so that
the architecture code can obtain it directly when necessary.

This will be useful when the existing __cpu_up() is split into multiple
phases, only *one* of which will actually need the idle thread.

If the architecture code is to register its new pre-bringup states with
the cpuhp core, having a special-case wrapper to pass extra arguments is
non-trivial and it's easier just to let the arch register its function
pointer to be invoked with the standard API.
