From: Abbas Raza <Abbas_Raza@mentor.com>
wait_task_inactive shouldn't be called in __kthread_bind for presmp initcalls the same way it is done in !SMP case.
more info here: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.embedded/4046
This patch improves boot time for pre-smp initcalls as given below
boot time with this patch:
calling spawn_ksoftirqd+0x0/0x30 @ 1 initcall spawn_ksoftirqd+0x0/0x30 returned 0 after 0 usecs
boot time without this patch:
calling spawn_ksoftirqd+0x0/0x30 @ 1 initcall spawn_ksoftirqd+0x0/0x30 returned 0 after 19531 usecs
