Subject: [PATCH v3 05/15] arm64: Don't use disable_nonboot_cpus()

disable_nonboot_cpus() is not safe to use when doing machine_down(),
because it relies on freeze_secondary_cpus() which in turn is
a suspend/resume related freeze and could abort if the logic detects any
pending activities that can prevent finishing the offlining process.

Beside disable_nonboot_cpus() is dependent on CONFIG_PM_SLEEP_SMP which
is an othogonal config to rely on to ensure this function works
correctly.

Use `reboot_cpu` variable instead of hardcoding 0 as the reboot cpu.

I'm not sure whether these patches have been queued already (still
unread in my inbox), so here it is:

Thanks Catalin!

Russel has requested to split the arm patch into 2 so that the change to
use reboot_cpu is in a separate patch. I'll do the same for arm64 to stay
consistent. I'll add your Acked-by to both patches if that's okay.

Please shout if you have any objection.

Thanks
