I prepared a lttng-modules commit [1] that uses CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN on 4.10
kernels, and it works fine through my cpu hotplug stress-testing. It's a very
good cleanup! Thanks Thomas for this nice API.

I'll be able to merge my commit into lttng-modules as soon as your patch
lands into Linux mainline.
