cpuplugd: Halt cpu hotplugging on vertical polarization

On vertical polarization, kernel can be adjusting CPU capacities
dynamically, and cpuplugd can interfere this with hotplug operations
causing performance degradation. To prevent this, check if system has
switched its polarization state, and act accordingly.
If system is on vertical polarization when daemon starts, no CPU hotplug
action is triggered. If system changes to vertical polarization during
daemon runtime, revert cpuhotplug adjustments and stop further CPU
hotplug actions. If system switches back to horizontal polarization
during runtime of the daemon, start evaluating CPU hotplug rules and
trigger adjustments.
