    Thanks a lot for testing and your patience!
    The patch below moves the init call to its old place but makes the
    stop_machine initialization happen later. I added a BUG_ON to catch possible
    early calls, but there shouldn't be any. I think the patch should solve
    the regression you are seeing. Could you give it a try please?
    The patch applies on top of latest Linus' git tree.

    Thanks,
    Heiko
