[PATCH] cpu hotplug: fix locking in cpufreq drivers
...
When calling target drivers to set frequency, we take cpucontrol lock.
When we modified the code to accomodate CPU hotplug, there was an attempt
to take a double lock of cpucontrol leading to a deadlock. Since the
current thread context is already holding the cpucontrol lock, we dont need
to make another attempt to acquire it.
Now we leave a trace in current->flags indicating current thread already is
under cpucontrol lock held, so we dont attempt to do this another time.
Thanks to Andrew Morton for the beating:-)

Build fix
(akpm: this patch is still unpleasant. Ashok continues to look for a cleaner
solution, doesn't he? ;))
