Merge branch 'smp-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull smp/hotplug fix from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The recent rework of the callback invocation missed to cleanup the
  leftovers of the operation, so under certain circumstances a
  subsequent CPU hotplug operation accesses stale data and crashes.
  Clean it up."
