#1649247 — [patch V3 16/32] powerpc/powernv: Use stop_machine_cpuslocked()

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>

set_subcores_per_core() holds get_online_cpus() while invoking stop_machine().

stop_machine() invokes get_online_cpus() as well. This is correct, but
prevents the conversion of the hotplug locking to a percpu rwsem.

Use stop_machine_cpuslocked() to avoid the nested call. Convert
*_online_cpus() to the new interfaces while at it.
