s390/smp: ensure global control register contents are in sync
Globally setting a bit in control registers is done with smp_ctl_set_clear_bit(). This is using on_each_cpu() to execute a function which actually sets the control register bit on each online CPU. This can be problematic since on_each_cpu() does not prevent that new CPUs come online while it is executed, which in turn means that control register updates could be missing on new CPUs. In order to prevent this problem make sure that global control register contents cannot change until new CPUs have initialized their control registers, and marked themselves online, so they are included in subsequent on_each_cpu() calls.
