Subject: [patch V4 15/37] cpu/hotplug: Rework sparse_irq locking in bringup_cpu()

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>

There is no harm to hold sparse_irq lock until the upcoming CPU completes
in cpuhp_online_idle(). This allows to remove cpu_online() synchronization
from architecture code.
