cpu_stop: implement stop_cpu[s]()
Implement a simplistic per-cpu maximum priority cpu monopolization mechanism. A non-sleeping callback can be scheduled to run on one or multiple cpus with maximum priority monopolozing those cpus. This is primarily to replace and unify RT workqueue usage in stop_machine and scheduler migration_thread which currently is serving multiple purposes. Four functions are provided - stop_one_cpu(), stop_one_cpu_nowait(), stop_cpus() and try_stop_cpus(). This is to allow clean sharing of resources among stop_cpu and all the migration thread users. One stopper thread per cpu is created which is currently named "stopper/CPU". This will eventually replace the migration thread and take on its name. * This facility was originally named cpuhog and lived in separate files but Peter Zijlstra nacked the name and thus got renamed to cpu_stop and moved into stop_machine.c. * Better reporting of preemption leak as per Peter's suggestion.
