 Using virtually mapped stack, kernel stacks are allocated via vmalloc.
In the current implementation, two stacks per cpu can be cached when
tasks are freed and the cached stacks are used again in task duplications.
but the cached stacks may remain unfreed even when cpu are offline.
 By adding a cpu hotplug callback to free the cached stacks when a cpu
goes offline, the pages of the cached stacks are not wasted.

Changes in v2:
 remove cpuhp callback for `starup`, only `teardown` callback is installed.
