CPU online/offline code paths are sensitive to parts of the device
tree (various cpu node properties, cache nodes) that can be changed as
a result of a migration.

Prevent CPU hotplug while the device tree potentially is inconsistent.

Audited the callbacks of of_reconfig_notify(). We are fine with
respect to CPU-Hotplug locking.
