Add suspend-related notifications for CPU hotplug
Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been
frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need
special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware
subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events
related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress. This
patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during
suspend and resume transitions. It also changes all of the
CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration
(for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal"
ones).

- All interrupts targeted to this CPU is migrated to a new CPU

- Once all services are migrated, kernel calls an arch specific routine
__cpu_disable() to perform arch specific cleanup.
- Once this is successful, an event for successful cleanup is sent by an event
- CPU_DEAD.
