[PATCH 3/3] stop_machine: change cpu_stop_queue_two_works() to rely on stopper->enabled

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Thu Oct 08 2015 - 10:55:06 EST


Change cpu_stop_queue_two_works() to ensure that both CPU's have
stopper->enabled == T or fail otherwise.

This way stop_two_cpus() no longer needs to check cpu_active() to
avoid the deadlock. This patch doesn't remove these checks, we will
do this later.

Note: we need to take both stopper->lock's at the same time, but this
will also help to remove lglock from stop_machine.c, so I hope this
is fine.
