[PATCH] kthread: convert stop_machine into a kthread
- Update stop_machine.c to spawn stop_machine as kthreads rather than the deprecated kernel_threads. - Update stop_machine to use the more efficient kthread_bind() before running task in place of set_cpus_allowed() after. [akpm@osdl.org: remove now-wrong set_cpus_allowed()] Signed-off-by: Serge E.
