cpuhp_setup_state() install the callbacks and invoke the @startup 
callback (if not NULL) for all online CPUs. So there is no need to call 
"arch_smp_setup_sbi_shmem" for each CPU and then install the hotplug 
handler.

If you are running this on QEMU, could you please share the qemu command 
you are invoking? I will test at my end and update you.
