stop_machine: Ensure that a queued callback will be called before cpu_stop_park()
cpu_stop_queue_work() checks stopper->enabled before it queues the work, but ->enabled == T can only guarantee cpu_stop_signal_done() if we race with cpu_down(). This is not enough for stop_two_cpus() or stop_machine(), they will deadlock if multi_cpu_stop() won't be called by one of the target CPU's. stop_machine/stop_cpus are fine, they rely on stop_cpus_mutex. But stop_two_cpus() has to check cpu_active() to avoid the same race with hotplug, and this check is very unobvious and probably not even correct if we race with cpu_up(). Change cpu_down() pass to clear ->enabled before cpu_stopper_thread() flushes the pending ->works and returns with KTHREAD_SHOULD_PARK set. Note also that smpboot_thread_call() calls cpu_stop_unpark() which sets enabled == T at CPU_ONLINE stage, so this CPU can't go away until cpu_stopper_thread() is called at least once. This all means that if cpu_stop_queue_work() succeeds, we know that work->fn() will be called.
