Subject: [PATCH 2/2] xen/x86: Call cpu_startup_entry(CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_IDLE) from xen_play_dead()

This call has always been missing from xen_play dead() but until
recently this was rather benign. With new cpu hotplug framework
however this call is required, otherwise a hot-plugged CPU will not
be properly brough up (by never calling cpuhp_online_idle())
