[PATCH] hotplug/cpu: Extend start/stop cpumap lock scope

The PPC mobility code may receive DLPAR CPU add/remove requests
to perform CPU changes at any time, including during LPAR migration
or RTAS requests or SMT changes.  When the operations are received
concurrently, there is an opportunity for DLPAR CPU remove requests
and other requests to overlap, and for one of the requests to be
interrupted after some shared state has been modified.  This patch
changes the duration for which cpu maps updates are suppressed
during DLPAR CPU operations made by 'drmgr' are suppressed to
reduce the period in which changes to shared state may occur.
