Subject: [PATCH] cpu/hotplug: Do not bail-out during DYING/STARTING sections

The DYING/STARTING callbacks are not expected to fail. However, callbacks
registered in those sections can still report errors. There's nothing the
hotplug machinery can do, so let's just proceed and log the failures.

Fixes: 453e41085183 (cpu/hotplug: Add cpuhp_invoke_callback_range())
