Use get_online_cpus to avoid races involving CPU hotplug

If arch/x86/kernel/cpuid.c is a module, a CPU might offline or online
between the for_each_online_cpu() loop and the call to
register_hotcpu_notifier in cpuid_init or the call to
unregister_hotcpu_notifier in cpuid_exit.  The potential races can
lead to leaks/duplicates, attempts to destroy non-existant devices, or
random pointer dereferences.

For example, in cpuid_exit if:

        for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
                cpuid_device_destroy(cpu);
        class_destroy(cpuid_class);
        __unregister_chrdev(CPUID_MAJOR, 0, NR_CPUS, "cpu/cpuid");
        <----- CPU onlines
        unregister_hotcpu_notifier(&cpuid_class_cpu_notifier);

the hotcpu notifier will attempt to create a device for the
cpuid_class, which the module already destroyed.

This fix surrounds for_each_online_cpu and register_hotcpu_notifier or
unregister_hotcpu_notifier with get_online_cpus+put_online_cpus.

Tested on a VM.
