    [S390] etr/stp: fix possible deadlock · 179cb81a
    Heiko Carstens authored
    Precreate stop_machine threads in case the machine supports ETR/STP.
    Otherwise we might deadlock if a time sync operation gets scheduled
    and the creation of stop_machine threads would cause disk I/O.
    This is just the minimal fix.
    The real fix would be to only precreate stop_machine threads if
    ETR/STP is actually used. But that would be a rather large and
    complicated patch.
