Bug description:
  Description of problem:
  Large sized VMs with 32 VCPUs and more than 100G memory sometimes hang at boot, and the console keeps printing logs like "soft lockup - CPU#14 stuck for 23s!"

  This particular issue can be resolved with the following patch upstream: 
  https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/commit/arch/x86/kernel/cpu?id=88c9281a9fba67636ab26c1fd6afbc78a632374f

  Repro rate is low.  To repro, provision a larger VM (i.e. G5 VM on
  Azure) and reboot many times, monitoring the console until the "soft
  lockup - CPU" error is seen.
