?? Context for downing cpu should better be well-defined. Just do this
in cpu_die if it is really required.

It is actually required but I'm not exactly sure why. When I don't do
this, I end up with preempt_count() 0x100000 (IIRC, notes not here at
the moment).

I think this is because the suspend code has interrupts disabled already
when downing the CPUs.
