[PATCHSET sched/core] cpu_stop: implement and use cpu_stop

[Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>]

Hello, all.

cpu_hog has been renamed to cpu_stop and moved into
kernel/stop_machine.c per Peter Zijlstra's suggestion.  This patchset
is feature-wise identical to the second take of cpuhog[L].  The only
changes are the rename, relocation and refresh against the current
sched/core.

The following API renames took place.

- hog_one_cpu()		-> stop_one_cpu()
- hog_one_cpu_nowait()	-> stop_one_cpu_nowait()
- hog_cpus()		-> stop_cpus()
- try_hog_cpus()	-> try_stop_cpus()
- *_hog() callbacks	-> *_cpu_stop()

Internal names have been renamed accordingly.  e.g. cpuhog thread
became cpu_stopper thread and so on.

This patchset contains the following four patches.

 0001-cpu_stop-implement-stop_cpu-s.patch
 0002-stop_machine-reimplement-using-cpu_stop.patch
 0003-scheduler-replace-migration_thread-with-cpu_stop.patch
 0004-scheduler-kill-paranoia-check-in-synchronize_sched_e.patch

The patches are against the current linux-2.6-tip/sched/core
(09a40af5240de02d848247ab82440ad75b31ab11) and are available in the
following git tree.

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/misc.git cpu_stop

I retained the original acked/reviewed-by's as the changes are mostly
cosmetic.  If you disagree, please let me know.  I'll try to push this
through sched/core again once Peter acks.

diffstat follows.
