[PATCH RFC V4 02/10] stop_machine: make stop_machine safe and efficient to call early

Jeremy Fitzhardinge

From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com>

Make stop_machine() safe to call early in boot, before stop_machine()
has been set up, by simply calling the callback function directly if
there's only one CPU online.

[ Fixes from AKPM:
- add comment
- local_irq_flags, not save_flags
- also call hard_irq_disable() for systems which need it

Tejun suggested using an explicit flag rather than just looking at
the online cpu count. ]
