[PATCHv4 0/2] cpu/hotplug: Keep cpu hotplug disabled until the rebooting cpu is stable

For the architectures (arm/arm64/ia64/riscv), which relies on the cpu
hot-removing mechanism to implement "kexec -e", it is important to
ensure that the rebooting happens on a valid online cpu. And this logic
should have been guaranteed in migrate_to_reboot_cpu().
But the current code has either contradict (resolved by [2/2]) or
redundancy (resolved by [1/2]) about the logic.
V3 -> V4:
Fix the cpu hotplug enable before kexec-rebooting in powerpc.
Improve commit log and the code's note.
V2 -> V3:
Taking in [2/2], which also has problem with the valid rebooting
cpu. (I had sent three patches for different arches. But maybe it is
better to collapse them into one and collect acks from different arches'
maintainers )
