[PATCH] check return value of cpu_callback

Browse source 
Spawing ksoftirqd, migration, or watchdog, and calling init_timers_cpu()
may fail with small memory.  If it happens in initcalls, kernel NULL
pointer dereference happens later.  This patch makes crash happen
immediately in such cases.  It seems a bit better than getting kernel NULL
pointer dereference later.
