[PATCH] x86: fix NMI with CPU hotplug

With CPU hotplug enabled, NMI watchdog stoped working.  It appears the
violation is the cpu_online check in nmi handler.  local ACPI based NMI
watchdog is initialized before we set CPU online for APs.  It's quite
possible a NMI is fired before we set CPU online, and that's what happens
here.
