powerpc: Set cpu sibling mask before online cpu

It seems following race is possible:

	cpu0					cpux
smp_init->cpu_up->_cpu_up
	__cpu_up
		kick_cpu(1)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
		waiting online			...
		...				notify CPU_STARTING
							set cpux active
						set cpux online
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
		finish waiting online
		...
sched_init_smp
	init_sched_domains(cpu_active_mask)
		build_sched_domains
						set cpux sibling info
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Execution of cpu0 and cpux could be concurrent between two separator
lines.

So if the cpux sibling information was set too late (normally
impossible, but could be triggered by adding some delay in
start_secondary, after setting cpu online), build_sched_domains()
running on cpu0 might see cpux active, with an empty sibling mask, then
cause some bad address accessing like following:

This patch tries to move the sibling maps updating before
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu online, and a write barrier there to make
sure sibling maps are updated before active and online mask.
