[PATCH] powerpc : Fix sleeping-in-atomic section warning triggered by /proc/cpuinfo

[Shriya]

Commit cd77b5ce208c ("Fix the frequency read by /proc/cpuinfo")
to fix /proc/cpuinfo on POWERNV triggered a sleeping-in-atomic section
warning. This was because the place where we cpufreq_get (which takes
an rwsem) from show_cpuinfo is in a preempt_disabled. However, the
preempt_disable() in show_cpuinfo is for protection against
CPU-Hotplug, since we don't want to report the information of offline
CPUs in /proc/cpuinfo.

Fix this by replacing preempt_disable()/preempt_enable() in
show_cpuinfo() by get_online_cpus()/put_online_cpus() giving a proper
protection against CPU-Hotplug.
