As a prerequisite to exporting cpu_hotplug_enable/cpu_hotplug_disable
functions to modules we need to convert cpu_hotplug_disabled to a counter
to properly support disable -> disable -> enable call sequences. E.g.
after Hyper-V vmbus module (which is supposed to be the first user of
exported cpu_hotplug_enable/cpu_hotplug_disable) did cpu_hotplug_disable()
hibernate path calls disable_nonboot_cpus() and if we hit an error in
_cpu_down() enable_nonboot_cpus() will be called on the failure path (thus
making cpu_hotplug_disabled = 0 and leaving cpu hotplug in 'enabled'
state). Same problem is possible if more than 1 module use
cpu_hotplug_disable/cpu_hotplug_enable on their load/unload paths. When
one of these modules is been unloaded it is logical to leave cpu hotplug
in 'disabled' state.
To support the change we need to increse cpu_hotplug_disabled counter
in disable_nonboot_cpus() unconditionally as all users of
disable_nonboot_cpus() are supposed to do enable_nonboot_cpus() in case
an error was returned.

Update the documentation about the interaction between the suspend (S3) call
path and the CPU hotplug infrastructure.
This patch focusses only on the activities of the freezer, cpu hotplug and
the notifications involved. It outlines how regular CPU hotplug differs from
the way it is invoked during suspend and also tries to explain the locking
involved. In addition to that, it discusses the issue of microcode update
during CPU hotplug operations.
