sched, cpu hotplug: fix set_cpus_allowed() use in hotplug callbacks

So set the CPU active before calling the CPU_ONLINE notifier chain,
there are a handful of notifiers that use set_cpus_allowed().
This fix also solves the problem with x86-microcode. I've sent
alternative patches for microcode, but as this "rely on
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() being workable in cpu-hotplug(CPU_ONLINE, ...)"
assumption seems to be more broad than what we thought, perhaps this fix
should be applied.
With this patch we define that by the moment CPU_ONLINE is being sent,
a 'cpu' is online and ready for tasks to be migrated onto it.
