stop_machine: fix error code handling on multiple cpus

Using |= for updating a value which might be updated on several cpus
concurrently will not always work since we need to make sure that the
update happens atomically.
To fix this just use a write if the called function returns an error
code on a cpu. We end up writing the error code of an arbitrary cpu
if multiple ones fail but that should be sufficient.
