During LPAR migration, cpu hotplug and migration operations can
interleave like so:

cd /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu7/ | drmgr -m -c pmig -p pre \
echo 0 > online                  | -s 0xd7a884f83d830e6d -t 19 \
echo 1 > online                  | -n -d 1 5
---------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
online_store() {                 |
  device_offline() {             |
    cpu_subsys_offline() {       |
      cpu_down(7);               |
    }                            |
    dev->offline = true;         |
  }                              | migration_store() {
}                                |   rtas_ibm_suspend_me() {
                                 |     rtas_online_cpus_mask() {
                                 |       cpu_up(7);
				 |     }
                                 |     cpu_hotplug_disable();
                                 |     on_each_cpu(rtas_percpu_suspend_me());
                                 |     cpu_hotplug_enable();
online_store() {                 |
  device_online() {              |
    cpu_subsys_online() {        |
      cpu_up(7);                 |
    }                            |
    dev->offline = false;        |
  }                              |     rtas_offline_cpus_mask() {
}                                |       rtas_cpu_state_change_mask() {
                                 |         cpu_down(7);
				 |       }
				 |     }
				 |   }
				 | }

This leaves cpu7 in a state where the driver core considers the cpu
device online, but in all other respects it is offline and
unused. Attempts to online the cpu via sysfs appear to succeed but the
driver core actually does not pass the request to the lower-level
cpuhp support code. This makes the cpu unusable until the system is
rebooted.

Instead of directly calling cpu_up/cpu_down, the migration code should
use the higher-level device core APIs to maintain consistent state and
serialize operations.
