It's not hard to backport both this patch and commit fe5595c07400
("stop_machine: Provide stop_machine_cpuslocked()") from branch
smp/hotplug in tip.git for stable.

Yeah but it's not really my business backporting that unfortunately.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I was offering to provide backported patches for
the relevant stable branches.

Though that will only be necessary if we also backport the topology
fixes as well.

So shall I pick up the fix and route it through tip smp/hotplug where the
cpu hotplug core changes reside on which that patch depends on?

Thanks,
