[CPUFREQ] Rewrite lock in cpufreq to eliminate cpufreq/hotplug related issues
Yet another attempt to resolve cpufreq and hotplug locking issues. Patchset has 3 patches: * Rewrite the lock infrastructure of cpufreq using a per cpu rwsem. * Minor restructuring of work callback in ondemand driver. * Use the new cpufreq rwsem infrastructure in ondemand work. This patch: Convert policy->lock to rwsem and move it to per_cpu area. This rwsem will protect against both changing/accessing policy related parameters and CPU hot plug/unplug.
