cpu_stop: implement stop_cpu[s]()

Implement a simplistic per-cpu maximum priority cpu monopolization
mechanism.  A non-sleeping callback can be scheduled to run on one or
multiple cpus with maximum priority monopolozing those cpus.  This is
primarily to replace and unify RT workqueue usage in stop_machine and
scheduler migration_thread which currently is serving multiple
purposes.

Four functions are provided - stop_one_cpu(), stop_one_cpu_nowait(),
stop_cpus() and try_stop_cpus().

This is to allow clean sharing of resources among stop_cpu and all the
migration thread users.  One stopper thread per cpu is created which
is currently named "stopper/CPU".  This will eventually replace the
migration thread and take on its name.

* This facility was originally named cpuhog and lived in separate
  files but Peter Zijlstra nacked the name and thus got renamed to
  cpu_stop and moved into stop_machine.c.

* Better reporting of preemption leak as per Peter's suggestion.
