commit 2f7021a8 "cpufreq: protect 'policy->cpus' from offlining
during __gov_queue_work()" caused a regression in CPU hotplug,
because it lead to a deadlock between cpufreq governor worker thread
and the CPU hotplug writer task.

Lockdep splat corresponding to this deadlock is shown below:

[   60.280582] smpboot: CPU 1 is now offline

The intention of that commit was to avoid warnings during CPU
hotplug, which indicated that offline CPUs were getting IPIs from the
cpufreq governor's work items.  But the real root-cause of that
problem was commit a66b2e50 (cpufreq: Preserve sysfs files across
suspend/resume) because it totally skipped all the cpufreq callbacks
during CPU hotplug in the suspend/resume path, and hence it never
actually shut down the cpufreq governor's worker threads during CPU
offline in the suspend/resume path.

Reflecting back, the reason why we never suspected that commit as the
root-cause earlier, was that the original issue was reported with
just the halt command and nobody had brought in suspend/resume to the
equation.

The reason for _that_ in turn, as it turns out, is that earlier
halt/shutdown was being done by disabling non-boot CPUs while tasks
were frozen, just like suspend/resume....  but commit cf7df378
(reboot: migrate shutdown/reboot to boot cpu) which came somewhere
along that very same time changed that logic: shutdown/halt no longer
takes CPUs offline.  Thus, the test-cases for reproducing the bug
were vastly different and thus we went totally off the trail.

Overall, it was one hell of a confusion with so many commits
affecting each other and also affecting the symptoms of the problems
in subtle ways.  Finally, now since the original problematic commit
(a66b2e50) has been completely reverted, revert this intermediate fix
too (2f7021a8

), to fix the CPU hotplug deadlock.  Phew!
