    hotplug, powerpc, x86: Remove cpu_hotplug_driver_lock() · 6dedcca6

    cpu_hotplug_driver_lock() serializes CPU online/offline operations
    when ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE is set.  This lock interface is no longer
    necessary with the following reason:
    
     - lock_device_hotplug() now protects CPU online/offline operations,
       including the probe & release interfaces enabled by
       ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE.  The use of cpu_hotplug_driver_lock() is
       redundant.
     - cpu_hotplug_driver_lock() is only valid when ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE
       is defined, which is misleading and is only enabled on powerpc.
    
    This patch removes the cpu_hotplug_driver_lock() interface.  As
    a result, ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE only enables / disables the cpu
    probe & release interface as intended.  There is no functional change
    in this patch.
