Subject: arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c: avoid using work_on_cpu()
From: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Atttempting to rid us of the problematic work_on_cpu(). Just use
smp_call_fuction_single() here.
This repairs a 10% sysbench(oltp)+mysql regression which Mike reported,
due to
commit 6b44003e5ca66a3fffeb5bc90f40ada2c4340896
Author: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

work_on_cpu(): rewrite it to create a kernel thread on demand
It seems that the kernel calls these acpi-cpufreq functions at a quite
high frequency.
