[PATCH] stop_machine/cpu hotplug: fix disable_nonboot_cpus

[Heiko Carstens]

From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@xxxxxxxxxx>

disable_nonboot_cpus calls _cpu_down. But _cpu_down requires that the
caller already created the stop_machine workqueue (like cpu_down does).
Otherwise a call to stop_machine will lead to accesses to random memory
regions.

When introducing this new interface (9ea09af3bd3090e8349ca2899ca2011bd94cda85
"stop_machine: introduce stop_machine_create/destroy") I missed the second
call site of _cpu_down.
So add the missing stop_machine_create/destroy calls to disable_nonboot_cpus
as well.

Fixes suspend-to-ram/disk and also this bug:
