Ashok Raj a9d9baa1e8 [PATCH] clean up lock_cpu_hotplug() in cpufreq
There are some callers in cpufreq hotplug notify path that the lowest
function calls lock_cpu_hotplug().  The lock is already held during
cpu_up() and cpu_down() calls when the notify calls are broadcast to
registered clients.

Ideally if possible, we could disable_preempt() at the highest caller and
make sure we dont sleep in the path down in cpufreq->driver_target() calls
but the calls are so intertwined and cumbersome to cleanup.

Hence we consistently use lock_cpu_hotplug() and unlock_cpu_hotplug() in
all places.

 - Removed export of cpucontrol semaphore and made it static.
 - removed explicit uses of up/down with lock_cpu_hotplug()
   so we can keep track of the the callers in same thread context and
   just keep refcounts without calling a down() that causes a deadlock.
 - Removed current_in_hotplug() uses
 - Removed PF_HOTPLUG_CPU in sched.h introduced for the current_in_hotplug()
   temporary workaround.

Tested with insmod of cpufreq_stat.ko, and logical online/offline
to make sure we dont have any hang situations.
