Subject: cpufreq/sh: Replace racy task affinity logic

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>


[ Upstream commit 205dcc1ecbc566cbc20acf246e68de3b080b3ecf ]

The target() callback must run on the affected cpu. This is achieved by
temporarily setting the affinity of the calling thread to the requested CPU
and reset it to the original affinity afterwards.

That's racy vs. concurrent affinity settings for that thread resulting in
code executing on the wrong CPU.

Replace it by work_on_cpu(). All call pathes which invoke the callbacks are
already protected against CPU hotplug.
