Akinobu Mita e6bde73b07 cpu-hotplug: return better errno on cpu hotplug failure
Currently, onlining or offlining a CPU failure by one of the cpu notifiers
error always cause -EINVAL error.  (i.e.  writing 0 or 1 to
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online gets EINVAL)

To get better error reporting rather than always getting -EINVAL, This
changes cpu_notify() to return -errno value with notifier_to_errno() and
fix the callers.  Now that cpu notifiers can return encapsulate errno
value.

Currently, all cpu hotplug notifiers return NOTIFY_OK, NOTIFY_BAD, or
NOTIFY_DONE.  So cpu_notify() can returns 0 or -EPERM with this change for
now.

(notifier_to_errno(NOTIFY_OK) == 0, notifier_to_errno(NOTIFY_DONE) == 0,
notifier_to_errno(NOTIFY_BAD) == -EPERM)

Forthcoming patches convert several cpu notifiers to return encapsulate
errno value with notifier_from_errno().
