[PATCH v3 21/52] x86, therm_throt.c: Remove unused therm_cpu_lock

From: Srivatsa S. Bhat <hidden>
Date: 2014-03-10 20:37:57
Also in: linux-arch, linux-pm, lkml
Subsystem: the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

After fixing the CPU hotplug callback registration code, the callbacks
invoked for each online CPU, during the initialization phase in
thermal_throttle_init_device(), can no longer race with the actual CPU
hotplug notifier callbacks (in thermal_throttle_cpu_callback). Hence the
therm_cpu_lock is unnecessary now. Remove it.
