This fix also solves the problem with x86-microcode. I've sent alternative patches for microcode, but as this "rely on set_cpus_allowed_ptr() being workable in cpu-hotplug(CPU_ONLINE, ...)" assumption seems to be more broad than what we thought, perhaps this fix should be applied. With this patch we define that by the moment CPU_ONLINE is being sent, a 'cpu' is online and ready for tasks to be migrated onto it.
