stop_machine: reimplement using cpu_stop

Browse source 
Reimplement stop_machine using cpu_stop.  As cpu stoppers are
guaranteed to be available for all online cpus,
stop_machine_create/destroy() are no longer necessary and removed.

With resource management and synchronization handled by cpu_stop, the
new implementation is much simpler.  Asking the cpu_stop to execute
the stop_cpu() state machine on all online cpus with cpu hotplug
disabled is enough.

stop_machine itself doesn't need to manage any global resources
anymore, so all per-instance information is rolled into struct
stop_machine_data and the mutex and all static data variables are
removed.

The previous implementation created and destroyed RT workqueues as
necessary which made stop_machine() calls highly expensive on very
large machines.  According to Dimitri Sivanich, preventing the dynamic
creation/destruction makes booting faster more than twice on very
large machines.  cpu_stop resources are preallocated for all online
cpus and should have the same effect.
