[GIT pull] smp/hotplug fix for 4.14

[GIT pull] smp/hotplug fix for 4.14

[Thomas Gleixner]

Linus,

please pull the latest smp-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git smp-urgent-for-linus

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.

Thanks,

	tglx
