Factorizing and unifying cpuhp callback range invocations, especially for
the hotunplug path, where two different ways of decrementing were used. The
first one, decrements before the callback is called:
cpuhp_thread_fun()
state = st->state;
st->state--;
cpuhp_invoke_callback(state);
The second one, after:
take_down_cpu()|cpuhp_down_callbacks()
cpuhp_invoke_callback(st->state);
st->state--;
This is problematic for rolling back the steps in case of error, as
depending on the decrement, the rollback will start from N or N-1. It also
makes tracing inconsistent, between steps run in the cpuhp thread and
the others.
Additionally, avoid useless cpuhp_thread_fun() loops by skipping empty
steps.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
