4.9 is over 1 1/2 years old now.  Please test this on 4.17 or better
yet, 4.18-rc as the cpu hotplug path has been radically cleaned up and
changed since 4.9 was released.

If you are stuck with 4.9 for some odd reason, sorry, but you really are
on your own.  I recommend going and asking for support from the people
that are forcing you to stick with that kernel.

good luck!
