hotplugcpu: Avoid deadlocks by waking active_writer 

Commit b2c4623dcd ("rcu: More on deadlock between CPU hotplug and expedited
grace periods") introduced another problem that can easily be reproduced by
starting/stopping cpus in a loop.

E.g.:
  for i in `seq 5000`; do
      echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
      echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
  done

Will result in:
  INFO: task /cpu_start_stop:1 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
  Call Trace:
  ([<00000000006a028e>] __schedule+0x406/0x91c)
   [<0000000000130f60>] cpu_hotplug_begin+0xd0/0xd4

   [<00000000004a57f0>] online_store+0x90/0xb0
  ...

And a deadlock.

Problem is that if the last ref in put_online_cpus() can't get the
cpu_hotplug.lock the puts_pending count is incremented, but a sleeping
active_writer might never be woken up, therefore never exiting the loop in
cpu_hotplug_begin().

This fix removes puts_pending and turns refcount into an atomic variable. We
also introduce a wait queue for the active_writer, to avoid possible races and
use-after-free. There is no need to take the lock in put_online_cpus() anymore.

Can't reproduce it with this fix.
