[PATCH 11/13] ARM: bL_switcher: veto CPU hotplug requests when the switcher is active

Trying to support both the switcher and CPU hotplug at the same time
is quickly becoming very complex due to ambiguous semantics.  So let's
simply veto any hotplug requests when the switcher is active for now.

This restriction might be loosened eventually.
