That looks fine, but I'm going to add a sentence explaining why the
smp_started condition is necessary:
/*
* If SMP is started and the thread is pinned or otherwise limited to
* a specific set of CPUs, queue the thread to a per-CPU run queue.
* Otherwise, queue the thread to the global run queue.
*
* If SMP has not yet been started we must use the global run queue
* as per-CPU state may not be initialized yet and we may crash if we
* try to access the per-CPU run queues.
