Trying to add an offline cpu to a cpupool can crash the hypervisor,
as the probably non-existing percpu area of the cpu is accessed before
the availability of the cpu is being tested. This can happen in case
the cpupool's granularity is "core" or "socket".

Fix that by testing the cpu to be online.

Fixes: cb563d7665f2 ("xen/sched: support core scheduling for moving cpus to/from cpupools")

I feel like there should be a more robust way to protect against this
sort of thing; but I don't see anything obvious, and this does fix a
bug, so:
