[RFC 05/11] sched: introduce stop_cpus_async() to schedule special tsk on cpu

[kernelfans@xxxxxxxxx]

The proto will be:
     cpu1                              cpuX
  stop_cpus_async()
                                  bring cpuX to a special state
                                  signal flag and trapped
  check for flag

The func help powerpc to reuse the scheme of cpu_stopper_task
to force the secondary hwthread goto NAP state, in which state,
cpu will not run any longer until the master cpu tells them to
go.
