Subject: [PATCH] of: skip disabled CPU nodes

Allow disabling CPU nodes using status = "disabled".

This allows a bootloader to change the number of available CPUs (for
example when a common DTS is used for SoC variants with different numbers
of cores) without deleting the nodes altogether (which may require
additional fixups where the CPU nodes are referenced, e.g. a cooling
map).
