A CPU will not show up in virtualized environment which includes an
Enclave. The VM splits its resources into a primary VM and a Enclave
VM. While the Enclave is active, the hypervisor will ignore all requests to
bring up a CPU and this CPU will remain in CPU_UP_PREPARE state.

The kernel will wait up to ten seconds for CPU to show up (do_boot_cpu())
and then rollback the hotplug state back to CPUHP_OFFLINE leaving the CPU
state in CPU_UP_PREPARE. The CPU state is set back to CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU
during the CPU_POST_DEAD stage.

After the Enclave VM terminates, the primary VM can bring up the CPU
again.

Allow to bring up the CPU if it is in the CPU_UP_PREPARE state.
