Looking closer at this, it seems most configs work by accident,
because they have MOD_UNLOAD and/or HOTPLUG_CPU enabled. I take it
you disabled both of those? stop_machine() is called from all kinds
of places and almost none of them make sure STOP_MACHINE is selected.

$ find -name Kconf\* | xargs grep STOP_MACHINE
./init/Kconfig:config STOP_MACHINE

All these places use stop_machine():
