sched: Start stopper early

Ensure the stopper thread is active 'early', because the load balancer
pretty much assumes that its available. And when 'online && active' the
load-balancer is fully available.

Not only the numa balancing stop_two_cpus() caller relies on it, but
also the self migration stuff does, and at CPU_ONLINE time the cpu
really is 'free' to run anything.
