cpu-hotplug: replace per-subsystem mutexes with get_online_cpus()
This patch converts the known per-subsystem mutexes to get_online_cpus put_online_cpus. It also eliminates the CPU_LOCK_ACQUIRE and CPU_LOCK_RELEASE hotplug notification events. Signed-off-by: Gautham R Shenoy <ego@in.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
