Subject: [PATCH v2] xen: avoid crash in disable_hotplug_cpu

The command 'xl vcpu-set 0 0', issued in dom0, will crash dom0:

Call Trace:
 handle_vcpu_hotplug_event+0xb5/0xc0
 xenwatch_thread+0x80/0x140
 ? wait_woken+0x80/0x80
 kthread+0x112/0x130
 ? kthread_create_worker_on_cpu+0x40/0x40
 ret_from_fork+0x3a/0x50

This happens because handle_vcpu_hotplug_event is called twice. In the
first iteration cpu_present is still true, in the second iteration
cpu_present is false which causes get_cpu_device to return NULL.
In case of cpu#0, cpu_online is apparently always true.

Fix this crash by checking if the cpu can be hotplugged, which is false
for a cpu that was just removed.
