Allocating a temporary mask while performing a CPU Hotplug operation
with CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK enabled, leads to calling a sleepable
function from a atomic context. Fix this by allocating the temporary
mask with GFP_ATOMIC flag.

If there is a failure to allocate a mask, scheduler is going to observe
that this CPU's topology is broken. Instead of having to speculate why
the topology is broken, add a WARN_ON_ONCE.

Fixes: 3ab33d6dc3e9 ("powerpc/smp: Optimize update_mask_by_l2")
