Fix up conflicts with 'struct sysdev' removal from various platform
drivers that got changed:
 - arch/arm/mach-exynos/cpu.c
 - arch/arm/mach-exynos/irq-eint.c
 - arch/arm/mach-s3c64xx/common.c
 - arch/arm/mach-s3c64xx/cpu.c
 - arch/arm/mach-s5p64x0/cpu.c
 - arch/arm/mach-s5pv210/common.c
 - arch/arm/plat-samsung/include/plat/cpu.h
 - arch/powerpc/kernel/sysfs.c
and fix up cpu_is_hotpluggable() as per Greg in include/linux/cpu.h
