[PATCH 1/2] powerpc/cpu: raise DEVICE_ADD/REMOVE msg to usrspace

Some user space tools such as kexec-tools resort to the event
add/remove to decide whether rebuilding dtb or not.
So if a new core added and a crash happens on one of its thread,
then kexec fails to bring up the 2nd kernel since lacking the info
of boot-cpu-hwid in dtb. This patch uses the interface
register_/unregister_cpu to fix the problem
