[RFC PATCH 06/10] yield_to(), cpu-hotplug: Prevent offlining of other CPUs properly

["Srivatsa S. Bhat" <srivatsa.bhat@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

With stop_machine() gone from the CPU offline path, we can't depend on
local_irq_save() to prevent CPUs from going offline from under us.

Use the get/put_online_cpus_stable_atomic() APIs to prevent CPUs from
going offline, while invoking from atomic context. And use the stable
online mask while interacting with other CPUs.
