[PATCH 0/4] Unify CPU hotplug lock interface

lock_device_hotplug() was recently introduced to serialize CPU & Memory
online/offline and hotplug operations, along with sysfs online interface
restructure (commit 4f3549d7).  With this new locking scheme,
cpu_hotplug_driver_lock() is redundant and is no longer necessary.

This patchset makes sure that lock_device_hotplug() covers all CPU online/
offline interfaces, and then removes cpu_hotplug_driver_lock().

The patchset is based on Linus's tree, 3.11.0-rc5.
