4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Neeraj Upadhyay <[email protected]> commit f8b7530aa0a1def79c93101216b5b17cf408a70a upstream. The smp_mb() in cpuhp_thread_fun() is misplaced. It needs to be after the load of st->should_run to prevent reordering of the later load/stores w.r.t. the load of st->should_run.
