[PATCH 1/3] powerpc: Don't preempt_disable() in show_cpuinfo()

[Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>]

This causes warnings from cpufreq mutex code. This is also
rather unnecessary and ineffective. If we really want to
prevent concurrent unplug, we could take the unplug read
lock but I don't see this being critical.
