From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Instead of relying purely on the special-case wrapper in bringup_cpu() to pass the idle thread to __cpu_up(), expose idle_thread_get() so that the architecture code can obtain it directly when necessary. This will be useful when the existing __cpu_up() is split into multiple phases, only *one* of which will actually need the idle thread. If the architecture code is to register its new pre-bringup states with the cpuhp core, having a special-case wrapper to pass extra arguments is non-trivial and it's easier just to let the arch register its function pointer to be invoked with the standard API.
