Aren't the increments/decrements from set_cpu_online() enough?

I guess we could argue that this isn't a private function and the
num_online_cpus should be updated here. But unless I missed something,
init_cpu_online() is only called in ia64 arch, in the !SMP case. Is
this the problem you're trying to tackle? If not, I'm not sure that warrants a
"Fixes:" tag
