cpu hotplug: cpu: deliver CPU_UP_CANCELED only to NOTIFY_OKed callbacks with CPU_UP_PREPARE

Browse Source 
The functions in a CPU notifier chain is called with CPU_UP_PREPARE event
before making the CPU online.  If one of the callback returns NOTIFY_BAD, it
stops to deliver CPU_UP_PREPARE event, and CPU online operation is canceled.
Then CPU_UP_CANCELED event is delivered to the functions in a CPU notifier
chain again.

This CPU_UP_CANCELED event is delivered to the functions which have been
called with CPU_UP_PREPARE, not delivered to the functions which haven't been
called with CPU_UP_PREPARE.

The problem that makes existing cpu hotplug error handlings complex is that
the CPU_UP_CANCELED event is delivered to the function that has returned
NOTIFY_BAD, too.

Usually we don't expect to call destructor function against the object that
has failed to initialize.  It is like:

	err = register_something();
	if (err) {
		unregister_something();
		return err;
	}

So it is natural to deliver CPU_UP_CANCELED event only to the functions that
have returned NOTIFY_OK with CPU_UP_PREPARE event and not to call the function
that have returned NOTIFY_BAD.  This is what this patch is doing.

Otherwise, every cpu hotplug notifiler has to track whether notifiler event is
failed or not for each cpu.  (drivers/base/topology.c is doing this with
topology_dev_map)

Similary this patch makes same thing with CPU_DOWN_PREPARE and CPU_DOWN_FAILED
evnets.
