FWIW, this looks like a nice cleanup to me:

Reviewed-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@....com>

While this patch leaves secondary_data.{task,stack} stale on a
successful onlining, that was already the case for a timeout, and should
be fine (since the next attempt at onlining will configure those before
poking the CPU).

Thanks,
Mark.
