Pull SMP fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"Two small changes for the cpu hotplug code:
- Prevent out of bounds access which actually might crash the machine
caused by a missing bounds check in the fail injection code
- Warn about unsupported migitation mode command line arguments to
make people aware that they typoed the paramater. Not necessarily a
fix but quite some people tripped over that"
