Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ACPI: intel-idle: Don't register CPU notifier if we are not running.

The 'intel_idle_probe' probes the CPU and sets the CPU notifier.
But if later on during the module initialization we fail (say
in cpuidle_register_driver) we stop loading but we neglected
to unregister the CPU notifier. This means that during CPU
hotplug events the system will fail:

calling  intel_idle_init+0x0/0x326 @ 1
intel_idle: MWAIT substates: 0x1120
intel_idle: v0.4 model 0x2A
intel_idle: lapic_timer_reliable_states 0xffffffff
intel_idle: intel_idle yielding to none
initcall intel_idle_init+0x0/0x326 returned -19 after 14 usecs

... some time later, offlining and onlining a CPU:

This patch fixes it by moving the CPU notifier registration
as the last item to be done by the module.
