keep rd->online and cpu_online_map in sync
It is possible to allow the root-domain cache of online cpus to become out of sync with the global cpu_online_map. This is because we currently trigger removal of cpus too early in the notifier chain. Other DOWN_PREPARE handlers may in fact run and reconfigure the root-domain topology, thereby stomping on our own offline handling. The end result is that rd->online may become out of sync with cpu_online_map, which results in potential task misrouting. So change the offline handling to be more tightly coupled with the global offline process by triggering on CPU_DYING intead of CPU_DOWN_PREPARE.
