x86/proc: fix /proc/cpuinfo cpu offline bug

Impact: fix missing CPUs in /proc/cpuinfo after CPU hotunplug/hotreplug

In my test, I found that if a cpu has been offline,
the next cpus may not be shown in the /proc/cpuinfo.

if one read() cannot consume the whole /proc/cpuinfo,
c_start() will be called again in the next read() calls.
And *pos has been increased by 1 by the caller(seq_read()).
if this time the cpu#*pos is offline, c_start() will return
NULL, and the next cpus can not be shown.

this fix use next_cpu_nr(*pos - 1, cpu_online_map) to
search the next unshown cpu.

the most easy way to reproduce this bug:
1) offline cpu#1             (cpu#0 is online)
2) dd ibs=2 if=/proc/cpuinfo
   the result is that only cpu#0 is shown.
   cpu#2 and cpu#3 .... cannot be shown in /proc/cpuinfo
   it's bug.
