[PATCH 4/5] cpufreq: Remove temporary fix for race between CPU hotplug and sysfs-writes

["Srivatsa S. Bhat" <srivatsa.bhat@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Commit "cpufreq: serialize calls to __cpufreq_governor()" had been a temporary
and partial solution to the race condition between writing to a cpufreq sysfs
file and taking a CPU offline. Now that we have a proper and complete solution
to that problem, remove the temporary fix.
