sched: Fix set_cpu_active() in cpu_down()
Sachin found cpu hotplug test failures on powerpc, which made the kernel hang on his POWER box. The problem is that we fail to re-activate a cpu when a hot-unplug fails. Fix this by moving the de-activation into _cpu_down after doing the initial checks. Remove the synchronize_sched() calls and rely on those implied by rebuilding the sched domains using the new mask.
