Subject: [PATCH 2/2] cpu: make sure that cpu/online file created before KOBJ_ADD is emitted

Fixes race between udev and hotplugged CPU registration, described at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/30/198
by defining "online" attribute statically so that device_add() would
create it before notifying udev about new CPU.
