CPU hotplug notifiers registration fixes for 3.15-rc1

The purpose of this single series of commits from Srivatsa S Bhat (with
a small piece from Gautham R Shenoy) touching multiple subsystems that use
CPU hotplug notifiers is to provide a way to register them that will not
lead to deadlocks with CPU online/offline operations as described in the
changelog of commit 93ae4f978ca7f (CPU hotplug: Provide lockless versions
of callback registration functions).

The first three commits in the series introduce the API and document it
and the rest simply goes through the users of CPU hotplug notifiers and
converts them to using the new method.
