Subject: [PATCH v2] cpuidle: not unset the driver if it already exist

__cpuidle_set_driver() check if there is an already exist driver and
unset it before return with -EBUSY. The next call will succeed as it's
just unset.

check if any of the CPUs in the mask have a driver different from drv
already and if so return -EBUSY before updating any cpuidle_drivers
per-CPU pointers.
