Subject: [PATCH 3/4] cpufreq: intel_pstate: Add ->offline and ->online callbacks

From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rafael.j.wysocki@...el.com>

Add ->offline and ->online driver callbacksto to do the cleanup
before taking a CPU offline and to restore its working configuration
when it goes back online, respectively, to avoid invoking the ->init
callback on every CPU online which is quite a bit of unnecessary
overhead.

Define ->offline and ->online so that they can be used in the
passive as well as in the active mode and because ->offline will
do the majority of ->stop_cpu work, the passive mode does not
need that callback any more, so drop it.
