smpboot: Allow selfparking per cpu threads
The stop machine threads are still killed when a cpu goes offline. The
reason is that the thread is used to bring the cpu down, so it can't
be parked along with the other per cpu threads.
Allow a per cpu thread to be excluded from automatic parking, so it
can park itself once it's done
Add a create callback function as well.
