cpu/hotplug: Prevent overwriting of callbacks

Developers manage to overwrite states blindly without thought. That's fatal
and hard to debug. Add sanity checks to make it fail.

This requries to restructure the code so that the dynamic state allocation
happens in the same lock protected section as the actual store. Otherwise
the previous assignment of 'Reserved' to the name field would trigger the
overwrite check.
