Pull CPU hotplug fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"Two SMT/hotplug related fixes:
- Prevent crash when HOTPLUG_CPU is disabled and the CPU bringup
aborts. This is triggered with the 'nosmt' command line option, but
can happen by any abort condition. As the real unplug code is not
compiled in, prevent the fail by keeping the CPU in zombie state.
- Enforce HOTPLUG_CPU for SMP on x86 to avoid the above situation
completely. With 'nosmt' being a popular option it's required to
unplug the half brought up sibling CPUs (due to the MCE wreckage)
completely"

x86/smp: Enforce CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU when SMP=y

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
