From: Vijaya Kumar K <Vijaya.Kumar@caviumnetworks.com>

In case of normal kexec kernel load, all cpu's are offlined
before calling machine_kexec() under kernel_kexec() function.
But in case crash panic cpus are relaxed in
machine_crash_nonpanic_core() SMP function but not offlined.

When crash kernel is loaded with kexec and on panic trigger
machine_kexec() checks for number of cpus online.
If more than one cpu is online machine_kexec() fails to load
with below error

kexec: error: multiple CPUs still online

In machine_crash_nonpanic_core() SMP function, offline CPU
before cpu_relax
