One definition per line make for more maintainable code.
Two of these initialisations are unnecessary.

checkpatch?

"Add a CPU to node %d" would make more sense.

s/num/cpu/ would be conventional. "num" is a pretty poor identifier in
general - it fails to identify what it is counting.

Similarly, I'd have used "selected_cpu".

arch_cpu_probe() is global and exported to modules, but is undocumented.
If it had been documented, I might have been able to work out why arg
`count' is checked, but never used.

unneeded initialisation, spurious whitespace, checkpatch.

It's generally better to make kernel messages self-identifying.
Especially error messages. If someone comes along and sees "can not
release cpu 0" in their logs, they don't have a clue what caused it
unless they download the kernel sources and go grepping.

No documentation.

Something like "When cpu hotplug emulation is enabled, register only
the online cpu. The remainder are reserved for cpu probing.".
