Lai Jiangshan 4bee96860a smpboot: Add missing get_online_cpus() in smpboot_register_percpu_thread()
The following race exists in the smpboot percpu threads management:

CPU0	      	   	     CPU1
cpu_up(2)
  get_online_cpus();
  smpboot_create_threads(2);
			     smpboot_register_percpu_thread();
			     for_each_online_cpu();
			       __smpboot_create_thread();
  __cpu_up(2);

This results in a missing per cpu thread for the newly onlined cpu2 and
in a NULL pointer dereference on a consecutive offline of that cpu.

Proctect smpboot_register_percpu_thread() with get_online_cpus() to
prevent that.

[ tglx: Massaged changelog and removed the change in
        smpboot_unregister_percpu_thread() because that's an
        optimization and therefor not stable material. ]
