[PATCH 10/13] arm64/kexec: Revert change to machine_shutdown()

Commit 90f51a09ef83 ("arm64: Fix machine_shutdown() definition") changed the
implementation of machine_shutdown() from calling smp_send_stop() to
calling disable_nonboot_cpus(). Revert that part of the commit so that
machine_shutdown() once again calls smp_send_stop().
With the application of another patch in this series, (arm64: Use cpu_ops for
smp_stop), smp_send_stop() will do the correct thing for a kexec reboot. This
change also corrects the source code comment for the machine_shutdown() routine.
