cpu/hotplug, stop_machine: Fix stop_machine vs hotplug order 

Paul reported a very sporadic, rcutorture induced, workqueue failure.
When the planets align, the workqueue rescuer's self-migrate fails and
then triggers a WARN for running a work on the wrong CPU.

Tejun then figured that set_cpus_allowed_ptr()'s stop_one_cpu() call
could be ignored! When stopper->enabled is false, stop_machine will
insta complete the work, without actually doing the work. Worse, it
will not WARN about this (we really should fix this).

It turns out there is a small window where a freshly online'ed CPU is
marked 'online' but doesn't yet have the stopper task running:

	BP				AP

	bringup_cpu()
	  __cpu_up(cpu, idle)	 -->	start_secondary()
					...
					cpu_startup_entry()
	  bringup_wait_for_ap()
	    wait_for_ap_thread() <--	  cpuhp_online_idle()
					  while (1)
					    do_idle()

					... available to run kthreads ...

	    stop_machine_unpark()
	      stopper->enable = true;

Close this by moving the stop_machine_unpark() into
cpuhp_online_idle(), such that the stopper thread is ready before we
start the idle loop and schedule.
