Subject: [PATCH] acpi-cpufreq: Fix an acpi perf unregister issue


As policy->cpu may not be same in acpi_cpufreq_cpu_init and
acpi_cpufreq_cpu_exit. There is a risk that we use different *cpu* to
un/register acpi performance. So acpi_processor_unregister_performance
may not be able to do the cleanup work. That causes a memory leak. And
if there will be another acpi_processor_register_performance call, it
may also fail thanks to the internal check of pr->performace.

So we add a field *perf_cpu* to fix this issue.
