[PATCH] powerpc/nohash: Allocate stale_map[cpu] on CPU_UP_PREPARE not CPU_ONLINE

Currently we allocate the stale_map for a cpu when it comes online,
this leaves open a small window where a process can be scheduled
on the cpu before the stale_map is allocated. Instead allocate
the stale_map at CPU_UP_PREPARE time, that way it will be always
available before tasks start running.
