CPU hotplug, perf: 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).

Instead, the correct and race-free way of performing the callback
registration is:

	cpu_notifier_register_begin();

	for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
		init_cpu(cpu);

	/* Note the use of the double underscored version of the API */
	__register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);

	cpu_notifier_register_done();

Fix the perf subsystem's hotplug notifier by using this latter form of
callback registration.

Also provide a bare-bones version of perf_cpu_notifier() that doesn't
invoke the notifiers for the already online CPUs. This would be useful
for subsystems that need to perform a different set of initialization
for the already online CPUs, or don't need the initialization altogether.
