sched: Remove get_online_cpus() usage
Remove get_online_cpus() usage from the scheduler; there's 4 sites that use it: - sched_init_smp(); where its completely superfluous since we're in 'early' boot and there simply cannot be any hotplugging. - sched_getaffinity(); we already take a raw spinlock to protect the task cpus_allowed mask, this disables preemption and therefore also stabilizes cpu_online_mask as that's modified using stop_machine. However switch to active mask for symmetry with sched_setaffinity()/set_cpus_allowed_ptr(). We guarantee active mask stability by inserting sync_rcu/sched() into _cpu_down. - sched_setaffinity(); we don't appear to need get_online_cpus() either, there's two sites where hotplug appears relevant: * cpuset_cpus_allowed(); for the !cpuset case we use possible_mask, for the cpuset case we hold task_lock, which is a spinlock and thus for mainline disables preemption (might cause pain on RT). * set_cpus_allowed_ptr(); Holds all scheduler locks and thus has preemption properly disabled; also it already deals with hotplug races explicitly where it releases them. - migrate_swap(); we can make stop_two_cpus() do the heavy lifting for us with a little trickery. By adding a sync_sched/rcu() after the CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifier we can provide preempt/rcu guarantees for cpu_active_mask. Use these to validate that both our cpus are active when queueing the stop work before we queue the stop_machine works for take_cpu_down().
