In native_machine_crash_shutdown() the "unshare" is called after
crash_smp_send_stop(), but here it's called before the stop_other_cpus().

I am wondering if you call "unshare" after stop_other_cpus(), can we guarantee
there's only one cpu running in both normal and crash kexec in which case you
might be able to get rid of the "conversions_in_progress" and
"conversion_allowed" above?
