4.7-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Suzuki K Poulose <suzuki.poulose@xxxxxxx>
commit 9113c2aa05e9848cd4f1154abee17d4f265f012d upstream.
In smp_prepare_boot_cpu(), we invoke cpuinfo_store_boot_cpu to store
the cpuinfo in a per-cpu ptr, before initialising the per-cpu offset for
the boot CPU. This patch reorders the sequence to make sure we initialise
the per-cpu offset before accessing the per-cpu area.
Commit 4b998ff1885eec ("arm64: Delay cpuinfo_store_boot_cpu") fixed the
issue where we modified the per-cpu area even before the kernel initialises
the per-cpu areas, but failed to wait until the boot cpu updated it's
offset.
