[PATCH] Convert cpu hotplug notifiers to use raw_notifier instead of blocking_notifier
The use of blocking notifier by _cpu_up and _cpu_down in cpu.c has two
problem.
1/ An interaction with the workqueue notifier causes lockdep to spit a
warning.
2/ A notifier could conceivable be added or removed while _cpu_up or
_cpu_down are in process. As each notifier is called twice (prepare
then commit/abort) this could be unhealthy.
To fix to we simply take cpu_add_remove_lock while adding or removing
notifiers to/from the list.
This makes the 'blocking' usage unnecessary as all accesses to cpu_chain
are now protected by cpu_add_remove_lock. So change "blocking" to "raw" in
all relevant places. This fixes 1.
