It cannot be reproduced with offlining CPU1 and it doesn't trigger any
warnings from lockdep.

However, it is reproducible by doing

# echo core > /sys/power/pm_test

and repeating

# echo disk > /sys/power/state

for a couple of times, in which case the last two lines printed to the console
before a (solid) hang are:

SMP alternatives: switching to SMP code
Booting processor 1 APIC 0x1 ip 0x6000

So, it evidently fails while re-enabling the non-boot CPU and not during
disabling it as I thought before.

With commit c9583e55fa2b08a230c549bd1e3c0bde6c50d9cc reverted the issue is
not reproducible any more.

Thanks,
Rafael
