[PATCH] check return value of cpu_callback
Spawing ksoftirqd, migration, or watchdog, and calling init_timers_cpu()
may fail with small memory. If it happens in initcalls, kernel NULL
pointer dereference happens later. This patch makes crash happen
immediately in such cases. It seems a bit better than getting kernel NULL
pointer dereference later.
