Merge branch 'smp-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull smp/hotplug fix from Thomas Gleixner: "The recent rework of the callback invocation missed to cleanup the leftovers of the operation, so under certain circumstances a subsequent CPU hotplug operation accesses stale data and crashes. Clean it up." * 'smp-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: cpu/hotplug: Reset node state after operation
