xen/smp: Fix CPU online/offline bug triggering a BUG: scheduling while atomic.

Browse Source 
When a user offlines a VCPU and then onlines it, we get:

NMI watchdog disabled (cpu2): hardware events not enabled
BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/2/0/0x00000002

Call Trace:
 [<ffffffff81070571>] __schedule_bug+0x61/0x70

 [<ffffffff810349be>] cpu_idle+0xbe/0xe0
 [<ffffffff81583599>] cpu_bringup_and_idle+0xe/0x10

The reason for this should be obvious from this call-chain:
cpu_bringup_and_idle:
 \- cpu_bringup
  |   \-[preempt_disable]
  |
  |- cpu_idle
       \- play_dead [assuming the user offlined the VCPU]
       |     \
       |     +- (xen_play_dead)
       |          \- HYPERVISOR_VCPU_off [so VCPU is dead, once user
       |          |                       onlines it starts from here]
       |          \- cpu_bringup [preempt_disable]
       |
       +- preempt_enable_no_reschedule()
       +- schedule()
       \- preempt_enable()

So we have two preempt_disble() and one preempt_enable(). Calling
preempt_enable() after the cpu_bringup() in the xen_play_dead
fixes the imbalance.
