x86, hotplug: Serialize CPU hotplug to avoid bringup concurrency issues



When testing cpu hotplug code on 32-bit we kept hitting the "CPU%d:
Stuck ??" message due to multiple cores concurrently accessing the
cpu_callin_mask, among others.

Since these codepaths are not protected from concurrent access due to
the fact that there's no sane reason for making an already complex
code unnecessarily more complex - we hit the issue only when insanely
switching cores off- and online - serialize hotplugging cores on the
sysfs level and be done with it.

[ v2.1: fix !HOTPLUG_CPU build ]
