[PATCH 4.4 42/56] MIPS: Fix race on setting and getting cpu_online_mask

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

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

commit 6f542ebeaee0ee552a902ce3892220fc22c7ec8e upstream.

While testing cpu hoptlug (cpu down and up in loops) on kernel 4.4, it was
observed that occasionally check for cpu online will fail in kernel/cpu.c,
_cpu_up:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/tree/kernel/cpu.c?h=v4.4.79#n485
 518        /* Arch-specific enabling code. */
 519        ret = __cpu_up(cpu, idle);
 520
 521        if (ret != 0)
 522                goto out_notify;
 523        BUG_ON(!cpu_online(cpu));

Reason is race between start_secondary and _cpu_up. cpu_callin_map is set
before cpu_online_mask. In __cpu_up, cpu_callin_map is waited for, but cpu
online mask is not, resulting in race in which secondary processor started
and set cpu_callin_map, but not yet set the online mask,resulting in above
BUG being hit.

Upstream differs in the area. cpu_online check is in bringup_wait_for_ap,
which is after cpu reached AP_ONLINE_IDLE,where secondary passed its start
function. Nonetheless, fix makes start_secondary safe and not depending on
other locks throughout the code. It protects as well against cpu_online
checks put in between sometimes in the future.

Fix this by moving completion after all flags are set.
