This does not seem to be a very good idea, since
freeze_secondary_cpus() does much more than you need for reboot.

For reboot, you basically only need to do something like this AFAICS:

cpu_maps_update_begin();

for_each_online_cpu(i) {
if (i != cpu)
_cpu_down(i, 1, CPUHP_OFFLINE);
}
cpu_hotplug_disabled++;

cpu_maps_update_done();

And you may put this into a function defined outside of CONFIG_PM_SLEEP.

So why exactly is this new Kconfig option needed?

Everybody supporting CPU hotplug seems to opt in anyway.

Please avoid using #ifdefs in function bodies. This makes the code
hard to maintain in the long term.

You can write this as

if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARCH_OFFLINE_CPUS_ON_REBOOT))
cpu_hotplug_disable();

That's what IS_ENABLED() is there for.

The above comment applies here too.
