Subject: [RFD PATCH 3/4] cpu: Define new functions cpu_down_mask and
	cpu_up_mask

Currently cpu-hotplug operation is carried out on a single processor at any
given time. We create two functions which will enable us to offline/online
multiple CPUs in a single go.

These functions are:
	int cpu_down_mask(cpumask_var_t cpus_to_offline);
	int cpu_up_mask(cpumask_var_t cpus_to_online);

In this patch, these functions serially invoke the  _cpu_down() and _cpu_up()
functions for each of the CPUs in the cpumask.

The idea is to make the CPU-hotplug notifiers work on cpumasks so that they
can optimize for hotplugging multiple CPUs.
