Qian Cai reported a regression where CPU Hotplug fails with the latest powerpc/next

Fix this by allocating the temporary mask with GFP_ATOMIC flag. If there is a failure to allocate a mask, scheduler is going to observe that this CPU's topology is broken. Instead of having to speculate why the topology is broken, add a WARN_ON_ONCE.
