Booting this Huawei TaiShan 2280 arm64 server generated this lockdep
warning.

[ 0.000000] start_kernel+0x4ec/0x7d4

This is due to the commit cb538267ea1e ("jump_label/lockdep: Assert we hold
the hotplug lock for _cpuslocked() operations").

Since it is applying a global workaround to all CPUs here, it did not hold
any CPU locks in this path.

arch_timer_acpi_init
arch_timer_check_ool_workaround(ate_match_acpi_oem_info, table)
arch_timer_enable_workaround(wa, local = false)
for_each_possible_cpu()
per_cpu()

There is also another path did not have any CPU lock.

time_init
clocksource_probe
arch_timer_of_init
arch_timer_check_ool_workaround(ate_match_dt, np)
arch_timer_enable_workaround(wa, local = false)

When hot-adding a CPU, it will go with a slightly different route.

arch_timer_starting_cpu
__arch_timer_setup
arch_timer_check_ool_workaround(ate_match_local_cap_id, NULL)
arch_timer_enable_workaround(wa, local = true)
__this_cpu_write()

Hence, deal with them differently.

v2: fix the root cause instead of a workaround.
