Whilst testing cpu hotplug events on kernel configured with
DEBUG_PREEMPT and DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP we get following BUG message,
caused by calling request_irq() and free_irq() in the context of
hotplug notification (which is in this case atomic context).

Interrupts cannot be requested/freed in the CPU_STARTING/CPU_DYING
notifications which run on the hotplugged cpu with interrupts and
preemption disabled.
To avoid the issue, request the interrupts for all possible cpus in
the boot code. The interrupts are marked NO_AUTOENABLE to avoid a racy
request_irq/disable_irq() sequence. The flag prevents the
request_irq() code from enabling the interrupt immediately.
The interrupt is then enabled in the CPU_STARTING notifier of the
hotplugged cpu and again disabled with disable_irq_nosync() in the
CPU_DYING notifier.
