Add a debugging infrastructure to warn if an atomic hotplug reader has not
invoked get_online_cpus_atomic() before traversing/accessing the
cpu_online_mask. Encapsulate these checks under a new debug config option
DEBUG_HOTPLUG_CPU.
This debugging infrastructure proves useful in the tree-wide conversion
of atomic hotplug readers from preempt_disable() to the new APIs, and
help us catch the places we missed, much before we actually get rid of
stop_machine(). We can perhaps remove the debugging checks later on.
