HOTPLUG: Add CPU_DYING notifier
KVM wants a notification when a cpu is about to die, so it can disable hardware extensions, but at a time when user processes cannot be scheduled on the cpu, so it doesn't try to use virtualization extensions after they have been disabled. This adds a CPU_DYING notification. The notification is called in atomic context on the doomed cpu. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
