If one process calls sys_reboot and that process then stops other
CPUs while those CPUs are within a spin_lock() region we can
potentially encounter a deadlock scenario like below.

CPU 0                   CPU 1
-----                   -----
                        spin_lock(my_lock)
smp_send_stop()
 <send IPI>             handle_IPI()
                         disable_preemption/irqs
                          while(1);
 <PREEMPT>
spin_lock(my_lock) <--- Waits forever

We shouldn't attempt to run any other tasks after we send a stop
IPI to a CPU so disable preemption so that this task runs to
completion.

Resending this patch now that the context has changed.

Unfortunately this won't fix the other problem I mentioned two weeks
ago where smp_send_stop races with other CPUs calling cpu_up().
