tick/nohz: Fix cpu_is_hotpluggable() by checking with nohz subsystem

commit 58d7668 upstream.

For CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL systems, the tick_do_timer_cpu cannot be offlined.
However, cpu_is_hotpluggable() still returns true for those CPUs. This causes
torture tests that do offlining to end up trying to offline this CPU causing
test failures. Such failure happens on all architectures.

Fix the repeated error messages thrown by this (even if the hotplug errors are
harmless) by asking the opinion of the nohz subsystem on whether the CPU can be
hotplugged.

[ Apply Frederic Weisbecker feedback on refactoring tick_nohz_cpu_down(). ]
