xen/x86: fix cpu hotplug



Commit dc6416f1 ("xen/x86: Call
cpu_startup_entry(CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_IDLE) from xen_play_dead()")
introduced an error leading to a stack overflow of the idle task when
a cpu was brought offline/online many times: by calling
cpu_startup_entry() instead of returning at the end of xen_play_dead()
do_idle() would be entered again and again.

Don't use cpu_startup_entry(), but cpuhp_online_idle() instead allowing
to return from xen_play_dead().
