Without this fix, /proc/cpuinfo will display an incorrect amount
of CPU cores, after bringing them offline and online again, as
exemplified below:

$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep cores
cpu cores       : 4
cpu cores       : 8
cpu cores       : 8
cpu cores       : 20
cpu cores       : 4
cpu cores       : 3
cpu cores       : 2
cpu cores       : 2

This patch fixes this by always zeroing the booted_cores variable
upon turning off a logical CPU.
