I'll take using cpuhp_step_empty().

And I'll take doing this bit unconditionally (it's basically a no-op if
they already got rolled all the way back to CPUHP_OFFLINE, right?).

But the additional complexity of having multiple steps is fairly
minimal, and I'm already planning to *use* another one even in x86, as
discussed.
