[rfc patch 1/2] rt/locking/hotplug: Kill hotplug_lock()/hotplug_unlock()

[Mike Galbraith]

This lock is itself a source of hotplug deadlocks for RT:

1. kernfs_mutex is taken during hotplug, so any path other than hotplug
meeting hotplug_lock() thus deadlocks us.

2. notifier dependency upon RCU GP threads, same meeting hotplug_lock()
deadlocks us.

Removing it. Start migration immediately, do not stop migrating until the
cpu is down.  Have caller poll ->refcount before actually taking it down.
If someone manages to sneak in before we wake the migration thread, it
returns -EBUSY, and caller tries polling one more time.
