[PATCH 1/1] cpu: create stop machine in disable_nonboot_cpus

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Wed Jan 07 2009 - 10:39:56 EST


Commit
772cd49cfa4002439b16dd6b553a11771ac096fd
(stop_machine: introduce stop_machine_create/destroy.)
introduced stop_machine_create/destroy, but omitted to call them from
disable_nonboot_cpus (it's called only from cpu_down).

Create and destroy the stop machine even in disable_nonboot_cpus
(which calls _cpu_down too) to avoid NULL-pointer dereference oops on
suspend.
