cpu/hotplug: Add CPU state tracking and synchronization



The CPU state tracking and synchronization mechanism in smpboot.c is
completely independent of the hotplug code and all logic around it is
implemented in architecture specific code.

Except for the state reporting of the AP there is absolutely nothing
architecture specific and the sychronization and decision functions can be
moved into the generic hotplug core code.

Provide an integrated variant and add the core synchronization and decision
points. This comes in two flavours:

  1) DEAD state synchronization

     Updated by the architecture code once the AP reaches the point where
     it is ready to be torn down by the control CPU, e.g. by removing power
     or clocks or tear down via the hypervisor.

     The control CPU waits for this state to be reached with a timeout. If
     the state is reached an architecture specific cleanup function is
     invoked.

  2) Full state synchronization

     This extends #1 with AP alive synchronization. This is new
     functionality, which allows to replace architecture specific wait
     mechanims, e.g. cpumasks, completely.

     It also prevents that an AP which is in a limbo state can be brought
     up again. This can happen when an AP failed to report dead state
     during a previous off-line operation.

The dead synchronization is what most architectures use. Only x86 makes a
bringup decision based on that state at the moment.
