[PATCH REPOST v2 2/2] cpu/hotplug: Allow the CPU in CPU_UP_PREPARE state to be brought up again.

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>]

From: "Longpeng(Mike)" <longpeng2@huawei.com>

A CPU will not show up in virtualized environment which includes an
Enclave. The VM splits its resources into a primary VM and a Enclave
VM. While the Enclave is active, the hypervisor will ignore all requests
to bring up a CPU and this CPU will remain in CPU_UP_PREPARE state.
The kernel will wait up to ten seconds for CPU to show up
(do_boot_cpu()) and then rollback the hotplug state back to
CPUHP_OFFLINE leaving the CPU state in CPU_UP_PREPARE. The CPU state is
set back to CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU during the CPU_POST_DEAD stage.

After the Enclave VM terminates, the primary VM can bring up the CPU
again.

Allow to bring up the CPU if it is in the CPU_UP_PREPARE state.
