Subject: smp/hotplug: Undo tglxs brainfart
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b9d9d6911bd5c370ad4b3aa57d758c093d17aed5;p=linux-beck.git

smp/hotplug: Undo tglxs brainfart

The attempt to prevent overwriting an active state resulted in a
disaster which effectively disables all dynamically allocated hotplug
states.

Cleanup the mess.

Fixes: dc280d936239 ("cpu/hotplug: Prevent overwriting of callbacks")
