[patch V2 05/29] lockup_detector: Remove broken suspend/resume interfaces

[-- Attachment #1: lockup_detector_Remove_broken_suspendresume_interfaces.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 6296 bytes --]

This interface has several issues:

- It's causing recursive locking of the hotplug lock.

- It's complete overkill to teardown all threads and then recreate them

The same can be achieved with the simple hardlockup_detector_perf_stop /
restart() interfaces. The abuse from the busy looping poweroff() loop of
PARISC has been solved as well.

Remove the cruft.
