From: Kim Phillips <kim.phillips@xxxxxxx> commit b69f63ebf553504739cc8534cbed31bd530c6f0b upstream. Unregistering the driver before calling cpuhp_remove_multi_state() removes any remaining hotplug cpu instances so __cpuhp_remove_state_cpuslocked() doesn't emit this warning: [ 268.748362] Error: Removing state 147 which has instances left.
