Subject[PATCH] kthread_bind: don't wait in kthread_bind for presmp initcalls
Date
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
