From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Some call sites of stop_machine() are within a get_online_cpus() protected region. stop_machine() calls get_online_cpus() as well, which is possible in the current implementation but prevents converting the hotplug locking to a percpu rwsem. Provide stop_machine_cpuslocked() to avoid nested calls to get_online_cpus().
