stop_machine: Introduce stop_two_cpus()

Browse Source 
Introduce stop_two_cpus() in order to allow controlled swapping of two
tasks. It repurposes the stop_machine() state machine but only stops
the two cpus which we can do with on-stack structures and avoid
machine wide synchronization issues.

The ordering of CPUs is important to avoid deadlocks. If unordered then
two cpus calling stop_two_cpus on each other simultaneously would attempt
to queue in the opposite order on each CPU causing an AB-BA style deadlock.
By always having the lowest number CPU doing the queueing of works, we can
guarantee that works are always queued in the same order, and deadlocks
are avoided.
