[PATCH] powerpc: Only obtain cpu_hotplug_lock if called by rtasd

Calling arch_update_cpu_topology from a CPU hotplug state machine callback
hits a deadlock because the function tries to get a read lock on
cpu_hotplug_lock while the state machine still holds a write lock on it.
Since all callers of arch_update_cpu_topology except rtasd already hold
cpu_hotplug_lock, this patch changes the function to use
stop_machine_cpuslocked and creates a separate function for rtasd which
still tries to obtain the lock.
Michael Bringmann investigated the bug and provided a detailed analysis
of the deadlock on this previous RFC for an alternate solution:

Notes:
This patch applies on tip/smp/hotplug, it should probably be carried there.
