Subject: powerpc/numa: Do not update sysfs cpu registration from invalid context
From: Nathan Fontenot <nfont@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit dd023217e17e72b46fb4d49c7734c426938c3dba upstream.
The topology update code that updates the cpu node registration in sysfs
should not be called while in stop_machine(). The register/unregister
calls take a lock and may sleep.
This patch moves these calls outside of the call to stop_machine().
