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().
