Subject: [PATCH 4.4 084/131] cpu/hotplug: Handle unbalanced hotplug enable/disable

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

[ Upstream commit 01b41159066531cc8d664362ff0cd89dd137bbfa ]

When cpu_hotplug_enable() is called unbalanced w/o a preceeding
cpu_hotplug_disable() the code emits a warning, but happily decrements the
disabled counter. This causes the next operations to malfunction.

Prevent the decrement and just emit a warning.
