It works, but it's not really correct. cpu_possible() is correct, but
cpu_online() might no longer be true by the time do_cpu_read() calls
do_cpu_id().

One way would be to do lock_cpu_hotplug() in cpuid_open() and introduce
a cpuid_close() which would do unlock_cpu_hotplug(). Another would be
to drop the check here, and fail the actual read. A final way is to do
no checks, in which case it becomes a noop if the cpu is offline.
