cpuhotplug: Link lock stacks for hotplug callbacks

The CPU hotplug callbacks are not covered by lockdep versus the cpu hotplug
rwsem.

CPU0 CPU1
cpuhp_setup_state(STATE, startup, teardown);
 cpus_read_lock();
  invoke_callback_on_ap();
    kick_hotplug_thread(ap);
    wait_for_completion(); hotplug_thread_fn()
       lock(m);
  do_stuff();
  unlock(m);

Lockdep does not know about this dependency and will not trigger on the
following code sequence:

  lock(m);
  cpus_read_lock();

Add a lockdep map and connect the initiators lock chain with the hotplug
thread lock chain, so potential deadlocks can be detected.
