[patch] cpu hotplug: fix CPU_UP_CANCEL handling

From: Heiko Carstens
Date: Thu Jun 15 2006 - 12:54:52 EST


From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@xxxxxxxxxx>

If a cpu hotplug callback fails on CPU_UP_PREPARE, all callbacks will be
called with CPU_UP_CANCELED. A few of these callbacks assume that on
CPU_UP_PREPARE a pointer to task has been stored in a percpu array.
This assumption is not true if CPU_UP_PREPARE fails and the following
calls to kthread_bind() in CPU_UP_CANCELED will cause an addressing
exception because of passing a NULL pointer.
