lpm_levels: Avoid race by preventing hotplug during lpm probe

When cluster enters a low power mode, the mode entered is stored
in last_level. During LPM driver probe last_level is initialized
to default level, if a core in that cluster is online.

If all the cores in the cluster are hotplugged after initializing
the last_level and before the per cluster data structures are
initialized, cluster enters low power mode but does not update
last_level as the data structures are not available. In this case
when a core in this cluster is coming online and last_level indicates
default level, assumes cluster did not enter any low power mode,
the update of flags to reflect the cores as active for this cluster
does not happen. This makes driver to select system level low power
mode as if this cluster is in low power mode eventhough it is out
of low power mode.

To avoid this race, prevent cores hotplug during lpm probe.
