Fix CPU spinlock lockups on secondary CPU bringup
Secondary CPU bringup typically calls calibrate_delay() during its
initialization. However, calibrate_delay() modifies a global variable
(loops_per_jiffy) used for udelay() and __delay().
A side effect of 71c696b1
("calibrate: extract fall-back calculation
into own helper") introduced in the 2.6.39 merge window means that we
end up with a substantial period where loops_per_jiffy is zero. This
causes the spinlock debugging code to malfunction:
u64 loops = loops_per_jiffy * HZ;
for (;;) {
for (i = 0; i < loops; i++) {
if (arch_spin_trylock(&lock->raw_lock))
return;
__delay(1);
}
...
}
by never calling arch_spin_trylock() - resulting in the CPU locking
up in an infinite loop inside __spin_lock_debug().
Work around this by only writing to loops_per_jiffy only once we have
completed all the calibration decisions.

Better solutions (such as omitting the calibration for secondary CPUs,
or arranging for calibrate_delay() to return the LPJ value and leave
it to the caller to decide where to store it) are a possibility, but
would be much more invasive into each architecture.
I think this is the best solution for -rc and stable, but it should be
revisited for the next merge window.
