[PATCH v3 13/24] arm64: Populate cpuinfo after notify_cpu_starting

[Suzuki K. Poulose]

This patch delays populating the cpuinfo for a new (hotplugged)
CPU until the notifiers have executed. This will enable us to verify
if the new (hotplugged) CPU has all the capabilities which the system
already has. If it doesn't, we could prevent it from turning online and
also modifying the system wide feature register status.

Also delays advertising that the CPU has booted until we complete
the notifiers, when we are ready to mark it online. This would avoid
confusing the user if the CPU fails to boot due to a missing capability.
