I *think* the cpu_add_remove_lock mutex should be sufficient here.

I think so too; I now realize _cpu_up() and _cpu_down() have slightly
different prologues: _cpu_up() does its hotplug states / cpu_present_mask
checks *after* grabbing the cpu_hotplug_lock, _cpu_down() does that *before*...

So I believe what you have below is fine, modulo whether we want to align
the prologue of these two functions or not :-)
