Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] cpufreq: Simplify and fix mutual exclusion with hotplug

Since we no longer alloc and destroy/freeze policy and sysfs nodes during
hotplug and suspend, we don't need to lock sysfs with hotplug. We can
achieve the same effect by checking if policy->cpus is empty.

Hotplug mutual exclusion was only done for sysfs writes. But reads need the
same protection too.  So, this patch adds that too.

Also, cpufreq driver (un)register can race with hotplug since CPU online
state can change between adding/removing the currently online devices and
registering/unregistering for hotplug notifiers. So, fix that by
registering for hotplug notifiers first before adding devices and
unregistering from hotplug notifiers first before removing devices.
