Subject: [PATCH v2 6/9] padata, pcrypt: take CPU hotplug lock internally in padata_alloc_possible

With pcrypt's cpumask no longer used, take the CPU hotplug lock inside
padata_alloc_possible.

Useful later in the series for avoiding nested acquisition of the CPU
hotplug lock in padata when padata_alloc_possible is allocating an
unbound workqueue.

Without this patch, this nested acquisition would happen later in the
series:

      pcrypt_init_padata
        get_online_cpus
        alloc_padata_possible
          alloc_padata
            alloc_workqueue(WQ_UNBOUND)   // later in the series
              alloc_and_link_pwqs
                apply_wqattrs_lock
                  get_online_cpus         // recursive rwsem acquisition
