cpuidle: (POWER) Replace pseries_notify_cpuidle_add call with a notifier to fix 
lockdep problem in start_secondary

From: Deepthi Dharwar <deep...@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Currently the call to pseries_notify_cpuidle_add(), that takes
action on the cpuidle front when a cpu is added/removed
is being made from smp_xics_setup_cpu().
This works fine when the cpus were hot added/removed once the
system is up but causes lockdep issues as
reported https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/17/2
during the time of boot.

During boot, on addition of each cpu,
resources were cleared and re-allocated each time, all in critical
section as part of start_secondary() which had interrupts disabled.
To resolve this issue, replacing the pseries_notify_cpuidle_add_cpu() call
with a hotplug notifier.  This would prevent cpuidle resources from being
released and allocated each time cpu is onlined during pseries bootup.
