[PATCH] cpu/hotplug: Fix acquire of st->should_run in cpuhp_thread_fun()

From: Neeraj Upadhyay
Date: Wed Sep 05 2018 - 01:52:26 EST


The smp_mb() in cpuhp_thread_fun() appears to be misplaced, and
need to be after the load of st->should_run, to prevent
reordering of the later load/stores w.r.t. the load of
st->should_run.
