Subject: stop_machine: Reflow cpu_stop_queue_two_works()

The code flow in cpu_stop_queue_two_works() is a little arcane; fix
this by lifting the preempt_disable() to the top to create more natural
nesting wrt the spinlocks and make the wake_up_q() and preempt_enable()
unconditional at the end.

Furthermore, enable preemption in the -EDEADLK case, such that we
spin-wait with preemption enabled.
