[RFC PATCH 19/32] ACPI: Warn when the present bit changes but the feature is not enabled

ACPI firmware can trigger the events to add and remove CPUs, but the
OS may not support this.

Print a warning when this happens.

This gives early warning on arm64 systems that don't support
CONFIG_ACPI_HOTPLUG_PRESENT_CPU, as making CPUs not present has
side effects for other parts of the system.
