Rusty Russell ffdb5976c4 Simplify stop_machine
stop_machine creates a kthread which creates kernel threads.  We can
create those threads directly and simplify things a little.  Some care
must be taken with CPU hotunplug, which has special needs, but that code
seems more robust than it was in the past.
