sched: Remove get_online_cpus() usage

Remove get_online_cpus() usage from the scheduler; there's 4 sites that
use it:

 - sched_init_smp(); where its completely superfluous since we're in
   'early' boot and there simply cannot be any hotplugging.

 - sched_getaffinity(); we already take a raw spinlock to protect the
   task cpus_allowed mask, this disables preemption and therefore
   also stabilizes cpu_online_mask as that's modified using
   stop_machine. However switch to active mask for symmetry with
   sched_setaffinity()/set_cpus_allowed_ptr(). We guarantee active
   mask stability by inserting sync_rcu/sched() into _cpu_down.

 - sched_setaffinity(); we don't appear to need get_online_cpus()
   either, there's two sites where hotplug appears relevant:
    * cpuset_cpus_allowed(); for the !cpuset case we use possible_mask,
      for the cpuset case we hold task_lock, which is a spinlock and
      thus for mainline disables preemption (might cause pain on RT).
    * set_cpus_allowed_ptr(); Holds all scheduler locks and thus has
      preemption properly disabled; also it already deals with hotplug
      races explicitly where it releases them.

 - migrate_swap(); we can make stop_two_cpus() do the heavy lifting for
   us with a little trickery. By adding a sync_sched/rcu() after the
   CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifier we can provide preempt/rcu guarantees for
   cpu_active_mask. Use these to validate that both our cpus are active
   when queueing the stop work before we queue the stop_machine works
   for take_cpu_down().
