    cpupools: fix state when downing a CPU failed
    
    While I've run into the issue with further patches in place which no
    longer guarantee the per-CPU area to start out as all zeros, the
    CPU_DOWN_FAILED processing looks to have the same issue: By not zapping
    the per-CPU cpupool pointer, cpupool_cpu_add()'s (indirect) invocation
    of schedule_cpu_switch() will trigger the "c != old_pool" assertion
    there.
    
    Clearing the field during CPU_DOWN_PREPARE is too early (afaict this
    should not happen before cpu_disable_scheduler()). Clearing it in
    CPU_DEAD and CPU_DOWN_FAILED would be an option, but would take the same
    piece of code twice. Since the field's value shouldn't matter while the
    CPU is offline, simply clear it (implicitly) for CPU_ONLINE and
    CPU_DOWN_FAILED, but only for other than the suspend/resume case (which
    gets specially handled in cpupool_cpu_remove()).
    
    By adjusting the conditional in cpupool_cpu_add() CPU_DOWN_FAILED
    handling in the suspend case should now also be handled better.
