cpu-hotplug: refcount based cpu hotplug

This patch implements a Refcount + Waitqueue based model for
cpu-hotplug.

Now, a thread which wants to prevent cpu-hotplug, will bump up a global
refcount and the thread which wants to perform a cpu-hotplug operation
will block till the global refcount goes to zero.

The readers, if any, during an ongoing cpu-hotplug operation are blocked
until the cpu-hotplug operation is over.
