Subsystems that want to register CPU hotplug callbacks, as well as perform
initialization for the CPUs that are already online, often do it as shown
below:

get_online_cpus();

for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
init_cpu(cpu);

register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);

put_online_cpus();

This is wrong, since it is prone to ABBA deadlocks involving the
cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock (when running concurrently
with CPU hotplug operations).

Instead, the correct and race-free way of performing the callback
registration is:

cpu_notifier_register_begin();

for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
init_cpu(cpu);

/* Note the use of the double underscored version of the API */
__register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);

cpu_notifier_register_done();

Fix the hw-breakpoint code in arm by using this latter form of callback
registration.
