Subject: [PATCH] smpboot: correctly update number of booted cores

Without this fix, /proc/cpuinfo will display an incorrect amount
of CPU cores, after bringing them offline and online again, as
exemplified below:

$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep cores
cpu cores : 4
cpu cores : 8
cpu cores : 8
cpu cores : 20
cpu cores : 4
cpu cores : 3
cpu cores : 2
cpu cores : 2

This patch fixes this by always zeroing the booted_cores variable
upon turning off a logical CPU.

Yes, tested it in Qemu with 15 hot-pluggable CPUs, like below
...
-smp 1,maxcpus=16,sockets=2,cores=4,threads=2
...

When a new CPU bringups a new core, for each core in package, Linux
increments the booted_cores for this new cpu in set_cpu_sibling_map().
Due to the uncleared booted_cores, this incorrect number of CPU cores
will be shown.
