kernel/cpu.c: create a CPU_STARTING cpu_chain notifier
Right now, there is no notifier that is called on a new cpu, before the new
cpu begins processing interrupts/softirqs.
Various kernel function would need that notification, e.g. kvm works around
by calling smp_call_function_single(), rcu polls cpu_online_map.
The patch adds a CPU_STARTING notification. It also adds a helper function
that sends the message to all cpu_chain handlers.
Tested on x86-64.
All other archs are untested. Especially on sparc, I'm not sure if I got
it right.
