3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ 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().
