[PATCH] cpu_kill/cpu_die coordination

[Kevin Bracey]

I've been having problems handshaking between cpu_kill and cpu_die, due to the
fact that they don't always occur together. It seems to me that this patch is
basically what's needed. I'm working on 3.4-based code, but the logic doesn't
seem to have changed since then.

Searches didn't show much activity in this area - it appears that I'm on the
only upstream platform actually implementing cpu_kill, which may explain why
it's not been noticed.

Only related topic I found was this discussion:

     https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1898311/

which could maybe be short-circuited by this patch.
