Subject: [PATCH v3 1/4] sparc64: Set cpu state to offline when stopped

CPU needs to be marked offline before stopping it. When not marked
offline, the xcall receives HV_EWOULDBLOCK and so assumes that not all
CPUs received the message, and retries. After 10000 retries, it finally
fails with fatal mondo timeout.
