From the hotplug testing on Hikey960, in some case cores fail to become
online in the system. When some cores are hotplugged off, if other
cores in the same cluster enter into CPU idle states at the meantime,
the cluster will be powered off. This introduces the state machine
malfunction in the power controller, thus when hotplug on the core
afterwards, it fails to boot up the core because the power controller
thinks the cluster is powered on.

This patch is to avoid race condition between hotplug and idles by
preventing cluster power off when some of cores in the cluster are
hotplugged off, if all cores in the same cluster are hotplugged off,
the cluster can be powered off.
