feat(lfa): serialize activate across CPUs and manage rendezvous policy
Track activation state across CPUs so skip-rendezvous activations don’t block or interleave. Split activate into prepare/finish to latch the rendezvous policy, notify the platform once per activation, and only clear activation_pending after all callers finish. Return LFA_BUSY for conflicting skip requests and LFA_CALL_AGAIN for multi‑stage activations.
