Subject: [PATCH 05/27] xen,
 cpu hotplug: Don't call cpu_bringup() in xen_play_dead()

xen_play_dead calls cpu_bringup() which looks weird, because xen_play_dead()
is invoked in the cpu down path, whereas cpu_bringup() (as the name suggests)
is useful in the cpu bringup path.

Getting rid of xen_play_dead()'s dependency on cpu_bringup() helps in hooking
on to the generic SMP booting framework.

Also remove the extra call to preempt_enable() added by commit 41bd956
(xen/smp: Fix CPU online/offline bug triggering a BUG: scheduling while
atomic) because it becomes unnecessary after this change.
