Replace all lock_cpu_hotplug/unlock_cpu_hotplug from the kernel and use
get_online_cpus and put_online_cpus instead as it highlights
the refcount semantics in these operations.

This patch converts the known per-subsystem cpu_hotplug mutexes to
get_online_cpus put_online_cpus.
It also eliminates the CPU_LOCK_ACQUIRE and CPU_LOCK_RELEASE hotplug
notification events.

cleanup_workqueue_thread() in the CPU_DEAD and CPU_UP_CANCELLED path
will cause a deadlock if the worker thread is executing a work item
which is blocked on get_online_cpus(). This will lead to a irrecoverable
hang.
Solution is not to cleanup the worker thread. Instead let it remain

Hi,
we are trying to to integrate our ipsec onto linux 2.6 kernel to do
so we have created a virtual device [struct net_device] with
dev-type = ARPHRD_VOID and configuring the same MAC address and IP
addresses as present on eth0 interface and when try to send out the data,
the packets are seen

When I stop 'stress' the memory isn't returned.
This doesn't seem to happen when I run stress on a
