Hyper-V doesn't support vCPU hot plug/unplug for VMs running on it,
but potentially the VM is able to offline and online its virtual CPUs,
though this is not a typical usage at all in production system (to offline
a vCPU, the VM also needs to unbind all the para-virtualized devices'
vmbus channels from that vCPU, which is kind of undoable in a VM
that has less than about 32 vCPUs, because typically all the vCPUs are
bound to one of the vmbus channels of the NetVSC device(s) and
StorVSC device(s), and can't be (easily) unbound.

So I think the driver does need to handle cpu online/offlining properly,
but I think we can do that in some future patch, because IMO that would
need more careful consideration. IMO here the WARN_ON() is good as
it at least lets us know something unexpected (if any) happens.

I agree, but I think we'd better remove the WARN_ON(1), which was mainly
for debugging purposem, and was added just in case.
