  To: linux-kernel; +Cc: mingo, a.p.zijlstra, pjt, tglx, seto.hidetoshi

The CPU_DYING branch of migration_call() relies on the fact that
CPU-hotplug offline operations use stop_machine().  This commit therefore
attempts to remedy this situation by acquiring the relevant runqueue
locks.  Note that sched_ttwu_pending() remains outside of the scope of
these new runqueue-lock critical sections because (1) sched_ttwu_pending()
does its own runqueue-lock acquisition and (2) sched_ttwu_pending() handles
pending wakeups, and no further wakeups can select this CPU because it
is already marked as offline.

It is quite possible that migrate_nr_uninterruptible() and
calc_global_load_remove() somehow don't need runqueue-lock protection,
but I was not able to prove this to myself.
