sched: fix cpupri hotplug support

The RT folks over at RedHat found an issue w.r.t. hotplug support which
was traced to problems with the cpupri infrastructure in the scheduler:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449676

This bug affects 23-rt12+, 24-rtX, 25-rtX, and sched-devel.  This patch
applies to 25.4-rt4, though it should trivially apply to most cpupri enabled
kernels mentioned above.

It turned out that the issue was that offline cpus could get inadvertently
registered with cpupri so that they were erroneously selected during
migration decisions.  The end result would be an OOPS as the offline cpu
had tasks routed to it.

This patch generalizes the old join/leave domain interface into an
online/offline interface, and adjusts the root-domain/hotplug code to
utilize it.

I was able to easily reproduce the issue prior to this patch, and am no
longer able to reproduce it after this patch.  I can offline cpus
indefinately and everything seems to be in working order.

Thanks to Arnaldo (acme), Thomas, and Peter for doing the legwork to point
me in the right direction.  Also thank you to Peter for reviewing the
early iterations of this patch.
