Subject: [PATCH 7/9] x86/topology.c: Support functions for BSP online/offline

From: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@...el.com>

By default, BSP can't be hotpluggable because bsp_hotpluggable is 0. Kernel
parameter bsp_hotplug can enable BSP hotplug feature.

arch_cpu_maps_update_begin() and arch_cpu_maps_update_done() locks/unlocks
pm_mutex. This solves cpu maps race condition between BSP online check during
hibernate/suspend and BSP online/offline operations.

arch_state_check() checks if BSP is still the first online CPU.
