cpu hotplug may be disabled via cpu_hotplug_enable/cpu_hotplug_disable.
When disabled, cpu_down and cpu_up will fail with -EBUSY. Users of the
cpu_up/cpu_down should handle this situation as this is mostly temporal
disablement and exception should be made for EBUSY, assuming that EBUSY
always stands for this situation and is worth repeating execution. One
of the users of cpu_hotplug_enable/disable is pci_device_probe yielding
errors on bringing cpu cores up/down if pci devices are getting probed.

Problem was observed on x86 board by having partitioning of the system
to RT/NRT cpu sets failing (of which part is to bring cpus down/up via
sysfs) if pci devices would be getting probed at the same time. This is
confusing for userspace as dependency to pci devices is not clear.

Fix this behavior by waiting for cpu hotplug to be ready. Return -EBUSY
only after hotplugging was not enabled for about 10 seconds.

Fixes: 1ddd45f8d76f ("PCI: Use cpu_hotplug_disable() instead of get_online_cpus()")
