I won't call this a "perfectly harmless bug", safe_halt() also contains
tracepoints, which are not supposed to work in offline path IIUC, for
example, you may incorrectly use RCU when RCU is not watching, that
could mean reading garbage memory (surely it won't crash the system, but
I hope I never need to debug such a system ;-)).
Otherwise this patch looks good to me. Thanks!
