If cpu0 then decides to schedule something on cpu1 and wait for it to complete, before cpu0 has set cpu1 active, we have a deadlock. Typically it's this CPU frequency transition that happens at this time, so let's just not wait for it to happen, it will happen whenever the CPU eventually comes online instead.
