stop_machine, sched: Fix migrate_swap() vs. active_balance() deadlock
Matt reported the following deadlock: CPU0 CPU1 schedule(.prev=migrate/0) <fault> pick_next_task() ... idle_balance() migrate_swap() active_balance() stop_two_cpus() spin_lock(stopper0->lock) spin_lock(stopper1->lock) ttwu(migrate/0) smp_cond_load_acquire() -- waits for schedule() stop_one_cpu(1) spin_lock(stopper1->lock) -- waits for stopper lock Fix this deadlock by taking the wakeups out from under stopper->lock. This allows the active_balance() to queue the stop work and finish the context switch, which in turn allows the wakeup from migrate_swap() to observe the context and complete the wakeup.
