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
