stop_machine_cpuslocked takes a mutex so it must be called in a
preemptible context, so it can't simply be fixed by disabling
preemption.

This is not a bug, because CPU hotplug is locked, so this processor will
call in to the stop machine function. So raw_smp_processor_id() could be
used. This leaves a small chance that this thread will be migrated to
another CPU, so the master work would be done by a CPU from a different
context. Better for test coverage to make that a common case by just
having the first CPU to call in become the master.
