Olaf Hering 3366cdb6d3 xen: avoid crash in disable_hotplug_cpu
The command 'xl vcpu-set 0 0', issued in dom0, will crash dom0:

Call Trace:
 handle_vcpu_hotplug_event+0xb5/0xc0
 xenwatch_thread+0x80/0x140

 kthread+0x112/0x130
 ? kthread_create_worker_on_cpu+0x40/0x40
 ret_from_fork+0x3a/0x50

This happens because handle_vcpu_hotplug_event is called twice. In the
first iteration cpu_present is still true, in the second iteration
cpu_present is false which causes get_cpu_device to return NULL.
In case of cpu#0, cpu_online is apparently always true.

Fix this crash by checking if the cpu can be hotplugged, which is false
for a cpu that was just removed.

Also check if the cpu was actually offlined by device_remove, otherwise
leave the cpu_present state as it is.

Rearrange to code to do all work with device_hotplug_lock held.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
