Do we need to re initialize pr->performance_platform_limit to 0 in
acpi_processor_unregister_performance()?

If PPC was 1 before the offline and after online the above check will
cause it to return as the pr->performance_platform_limit is not
changed. Not sure if the PM QOS state is preserved after offline and
online. This is stored in a per CPU variable, not in dynamically
allocated memory which will be reallocated during online again.
