1) So this isn't just freeing the PCPU, it also unregisters
the SysFS.

As such you should call this differently:

unregister_and_free(struct pcpu *pcpu)

or do the unregistration part seperatly.

2) But there is also another issue - a possiblity of race.

The user might be running:
while (true)
do
 echo 1 > online
 echo 0 > online
done

and the the sync_pcpu will end up calling pcpu_sys_remove and
free the pcpu. The SysFS aren't deleted until all of the
object references (kref's) have been put. So when you get to
'kfree(pcpu)' you might be still holding a reference (meaning
the user is doing 'echo 0 > online') and crash.

I think you need to hold the mutex in the store_online() function
(not good), or better yet, make a device_release function
that will be called when the last kref has been put.


3) Third the name. These functions all depend on the mutex lock being
held. As such add a postfix to the name of the function of 
"_locked" or a prefix of "__' so it is known that the caller holds
the mutex.
