Within hibernate.c, hibernation_platform_enter() is only called from
power_down(), which in turn is only called by hibernate() after having
called hibernation_snapshot(), which in turn calls create_image() which
in turn calls disable_nonboot_cpus().

Elsewhere, snapshot_ioctl() allows hibernation_snapshot() and
hibernation_platform_enter() to be invoked via separate IOCTLs, but I
assume the rule is that SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE must be executed before
IOCTL SNAPSHOT_POWER_OFF, and hence the same ordering applies.

This means that disable_nonboot_cpus() must have been called already
before hibernation_platform_enter() is entered, and hence the call there
is redundant, so remove it.

Note: I have compile-tested this on x86-64, but have not attempted to test
it in any way; I'm proposing this patch following code inspection.

No, it isn't.  This is a different stage of hibernation and
enable_nonboot_cpus() is called before.

It works like this: First, before creating the image, the complete "freeze"
sequence is carried out which includes disable_nonboot_cpus().  Then, the
image is created and the complete "thaw" sequence is carried out which includes
enable_nonboot_cpus().  Next, the image is saved and finally the memory taken
up by it is freed and hibernation_platform_enter() is called.  Roughly.

Thanks,
Rafael
