[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.
