MTRR rendezvous sequence is not implemened using stop_machine() before, as this
gets called both from the process context aswell as the cpu online paths
(where the cpu has not come online and the interrupts are disabled etc).

Now that we have a new stop_machine_from_inactive_cpu() API, use it for
rendezvous during mtrr init of a logical processor that is coming online.

For the rest (runtime MTRR modification, system boot, resume paths), use
stop_machine() to implement the rendezvous sequence. This will consolidate and
cleanup the code.

Currently, mtrr wants stop_machine functionality while a CPU is being
brought up.  As stop_machine() requires the calling CPU to be active,
mtrr implements its own stop_machine using stop_one_cpu() on each
online CPU.  This doesn't only unnecessarily duplicate complex logic
but also introduces a possibility of deadlock when it races against
the generic stop_machine().

This patch implements stop_machine_from_inactive_cpu() to serve such
use cases.  Its functionality is basically the same as stop_machine();
however, it should be called from a CPU which isn't active and doesn't
depend on working scheduling on the calling CPU.

This is achieved by using busy loops for synchronization and
open-coding stop_cpus queuing and waiting with direct invocation of
fn() for local CPU inbetween.

MTRR rendezvous sequence using stop_one_cpu_nowait() can potentially
happen in parallel with another system wide rendezvous using
stop_machine(). This can lead to deadlock (The order in which
works are queued can be different on different cpu's. Some cpu's
will be running the first rendezvous handler and others will be running
the second rendezvous handler. Each set waiting for the other set to join
for the system wide rendezvous, leading to a deadlock).

MTRR rendezvous sequence is not implemented using stop_machine() as this
gets called both from the process context aswell as the cpu online paths
(where the cpu has not come online and the interrupts are disabled etc).
stop_machine() works with only online cpus.

For now, take the stop_machine mutex in the MTRR rendezvous sequence that
gets called from an online cpu (here we are in the process context
and can potentially sleep while taking the mutex). And the MTRR rendezvous
that gets triggered during cpu online doesn't need to take this stop_machine
lock (as the stop_machine() already ensures that there is no cpu hotplug
going on in parallel by doing get_online_cpus())

    TBD: Pursue a cleaner solution of extending the stop_machine()
         infrastructure to handle the case where the calling cpu is
         still not online and use this for MTRR rendezvous sequence.

When !CONFIG_SMP, cpu_stop functions weren't defined at all which
could lead to build failures if UP code uses cpu_stop facility.  Add
dummy cpu_stop implementation for UP.  The waiting variants execute
the work function directly with preempt disabled and
stop_one_cpu_nowait() schedules a workqueue work.

Makefile and ifdefs around stop_machine implementation are updated to
accomodate CONFIG_SMP &amp;&amp; !CONFIG_STOP_MACHINE case.

Reimplement stop_machine using cpu_stop.  As cpu stoppers are
guaranteed to be available for all online cpus,
stop_machine_create/destroy() are no longer necessary and removed.

With resource management and synchronization handled by cpu_stop, the
new implementation is much simpler.  Asking the cpu_stop to execute
the stop_cpu() state machine on all online cpus with cpu hotplug
disabled is enough.

stop_machine itself doesn't need to manage any global resources
anymore, so all per-instance information is rolled into struct
stop_machine_data and the mutex and all static data variables are
removed.

The previous implementation created and destroyed RT workqueues as
necessary which made stop_machine() calls highly expensive on very
large machines.  According to Dimitri Sivanich, preventing the dynamic
creation/destruction makes booting faster more than twice on very
large machines.  cpu_stop resources are preallocated for all online
cpus and should have the same effect.

Implement a simplistic per-cpu maximum priority cpu monopolization
mechanism.  A non-sleeping callback can be scheduled to run on one or
multiple cpus with maximum priority monopolozing those cpus.  This is
primarily to replace and unify RT workqueue usage in stop_machine and
scheduler migration_thread which currently is serving multiple
purposes.

Four functions are provided - stop_one_cpu(), stop_one_cpu_nowait(),
stop_cpus() and try_stop_cpus().

This is to allow clean sharing of resources among stop_cpu and all the
migration thread users.  One stopper thread per cpu is created which
is currently named "stopper/CPU".  This will eventually replace the
migration thread and take on its name.

* This facility was originally named cpuhog and lived in separate
  files but Peter Zijlstra nacked the name and thus got renamed to
  cpu_stop and moved into stop_machine.c.

* Better reporting of preemption leak as per Peter's suggestion.
