Subject: [PATCH 4/4] Handle CPU_LOCK_ACQUIRE and CPU_LOCK_RELEASE in workqueue_cpu_callback.

In hot-cpu callback function workqueue_cpu_callback, lock the workqueue_mutex 
under CPU_LOCK_ACQUIRE and release it under CPU_LOCK_RELEASE.

This eliminates handling of redundant events namely CPU_DOWN_PREPARE and
CPU_DOWN_FAILED.
