Both onlining/offlining are prevented, or just offlining?
The previous patch says:
It does not prevent the initial bring up of the CPU, but it stops
subsequent offlining.
And ...

... here cpu_down_maps_locked() only prevents offlining if I am reading
correctly.
Also, can we rename cpu_hotplug_supported to cpu_offline_supported to match the
behaviour better?
Anyway, isn't it a little bit odd to have:
if (!cpu_hotplug_supported)
return -EOPNOTSUPP;
if (cpu_hotplug_disabled)
return -EBUSY;
?
