When unplugging the CPU, the test tries to check for a successful
unplug by changing to the /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1 directory
to see whether that fails. However, the "cd" could be faster than
the unplug operation in the kernel, so there is a race condition
and the test sometimes fails here.
Fix it by trying to change the directory in a loop until the the
CPU has really been unplugged.
While we're at it, also add a "cd .." before unplugging to make
the console output a little bit less confusing (since the path
is echoed in the shell prompt).

Since we don't have ssh support in the functional test framework yet,
simply use the serial console for this test instead. It's also
sufficient to only boot into an initrd here, no need to fire up a
full-blown guest, so the test now finishes much faster.
While we're at it, also unplug the CPU now and check that it is gone
in the guest.
