[ACPIHP PATCH part4 3/9] ACPIHP/processor: protect accesses to device->driver_data

[Jiang Liu <liuj97@gmail.com>]

CPU hotplug notification handler acpi_cpu_soft_notify() and driver
unbind method acpi_processor_remove() may be concurrently called.
acpi_cpu_soft_notify() will access device->driver_data, but that
data structure may be destroyed by acpi_processor_remove().

On the other hand, acpi_cpu_soft_notify() is always called under
protection of get_online_cpus(), so use get_online_cpus() to serialize
all accesses and modifications to device->driver_data.
