Srivatsa S. Bhat 43ea953649 xen, balloon: Fix CPU hotplug callback registration
Subsystems that want to register CPU hotplug callbacks, as well as perform
initialization for the CPUs that are already online, often do it as shown
below:

	get_online_cpus();

	for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
		init_cpu(cpu);

	register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);

	put_online_cpus();

This is wrong, since it is prone to ABBA deadlocks involving the
cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock (when running concurrently
with CPU hotplug operations).

The xen balloon driver doesn't take get/put_online_cpus() around this code,
but that is also buggy, since it can miss CPU hotplug events in between the
initialization and callback registration:

	for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
		init_cpu(cpu);
		   ^
		   |  Race window; Can miss CPU hotplug events here.
		   v
	register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);

Interestingly, the balloon code in xen can simply be reorganized as shown
below, to have a race-free method to register hotplug callbacks, without even
taking get/put_online_cpus(). This is because the initialization performed for
already online CPUs is exactly the same as that performed for CPUs that come
online later. Moreover, the code has checks in place to avoid double
initialization.

	register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);

	get_online_cpus();

	for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
		init_cpu(cpu);

	put_online_cpus();

A hotplug operation that occurs between registering the notifier and calling
get_online_cpus(), won't disrupt anything, because the code takes care to
perform the memory allocations only once.

So reorganize the balloon code in xen this way to fix the issues with CPU
hotplug callback registration.
