Subject: stomp_machine: Use mutex_trylock when called from inactive cpu
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
Date: Wed, 03 Oct 2012 17:21:53 +0100

If the stop machinery is called from inactive CPU we cannot use
mutex_lock, because some other stomp machine invokation might be in
progress and the mutex can be contended. We cannot schedule from this
context, so trylock and loop.
