The cpu hotplug notifiers are called without updating the core/thread masks when a new CPU is added. This causes problems with code setting up data structures in a cpu hotplug notifier, and relying on that later in normal code. This caused a crash in the new core scheduling code (SCHED_CORE), where rq->core was set up in a notifier depending on cpu masks. To fix this, add a cpu_setup_mask which is used in update_cpu_masks() instead of the cpu_online_mask to determine whether the cpu masks should be set for a certain cpu. Also move update_cpu_masks() to update the masks before calling notify_cpu_starting() so that the notifiers are seeing the updated masks.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
