Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 4/9] smp,
 cpu hotplug: Fix on_each_cpu_*() to prevent CPU offline properly

Once stop_machine() is gone from the CPU offline path, we won't be able to
depend on preempt_disable() to prevent CPUs from going offline from under us.

Use the get/put_online_cpus_atomic() APIs to prevent CPUs from going offline,
while invoking from atomic context.
