smp: Alloc percpu csd data in smpcfd_prepare_cpu() only once

Browse source

smp_call_function_many_cond() uses per-CPU CSD objects when queueing
callbacks to remote CPUs, and the wait path later dereferences those CSDs
from csd_lock_wait().

Making the wait path preemptible allows the initiating task to be
preempted or migrated before it waits for completion. A target CPU can be
offlined in that window. If smpcfd_dead_cpu() frees the target CPU's
per-CPU CSD storage, csd_lock_wait() can later dereference freed memory.

One way to protect the CSD storage is to free it via RCU or after a
synchronization step in the CPU offline path, but that would add
unnecessary complexity and can delay CPU shutdown.

Allocate the per-CPU CSD storage the first time a CPU comes up and keep
it allocated when the CPU is offlined. This allows csd_lock_wait() to
access the CSD even when the target CPU is offlined after preemption is
re-enabled and before the wait is invoked.
