If I understand your comment by mistake, please let me know.
If the contents is wrapped a inside get_online_cpus()/put_online_cpus() block
as below, cpu_down() will stop since cpu_down() calls cpu_hotplug_begin() and
cpu_hotplug_begin() waits for cpu_hotplug.refcount to become 0.

+ if (cpu_online(pr->id)) {
+ ret = cpu_down(pr->id);
+ if (ret)
+ return ret;
+ }
+ put_online_cpus()
I think following patch can prevent it correctly. How about the patch?
