I'm slightly unsure about this. The dbg_reset_online callback can execute
undefined instructions (unfortunately, there's no way to probe the presence
of some of the debug registers), so it absolutely has to run within the 
register_undef_hook/unregister_undef_hook calls that are in this function.

With this patch, I worry that the callback can be postponed to ONLINE time
for other CPUs, and then the kernel will panic.
