ACPI processor hotplug: Split up acpi_processor_add
No functional change.
This is needed because:
When a CPU gets hotplugged, it's totally uninitialized
and offline. cpuinfo_x86 struct (cpu_data(cpu)) is mostly
zero (CPU feature flags, model, family,..).
When a CPU gets hotplugged, struct processor is alloc'd,
some sysfs files are set up but acpi_processor_add()
must not try to access a MSR on this CPU or try to read
out CPU feature,family, etc.
This must be done in acpi_processor_start().
The next patch will delay the call of acpi_processor_start()
for physically hotpluggedcores, to the time when they are onlined
the first time. There it is safe then to access cpu_data(cpu)
cpuinfo_x86 struct or access MSRs which is needed to
set up cpuidle, throttling and other features.
