There is no possibility of any race on updating last_index, trans_table or
total_trans as these are updated only by cpufreq_stat_notifier_trans() which
will be called sequentially.
The only place where locking is still relevant is: cpufreq_stats_update(), which
updates time_in_state and last_time. This can be called by two thread in
parallel, that may result in races.
The two threads being:
- sysfs read of time_in_state
- and frequency transition that calls cpufreq_stat_notifier_trans().
Remove locking from the first case mentioned above.

We need to call cpufreq_stats_update() to update 'time_in_state' for the last
frequency. This is achieved by calling it from cpufreq_stat_notifier_trans(),
which is called after frequency transition.
But if we detect that the cpu's frequency haven't really changed and its a false
POSTCHANGE notification, we don't really need to update time_in_state.
It wouldn't cause any harm in calling cpufreq_stats_update() but we can avoid
calling it here and call it when the frequency really changes. The result will
be the same but more efficient.

cpufreq_stats_update() updates time_in_state and nothing else. It should ideally
be updated only in two cases:
- User requested for the current value of time_in_state.
- We have switched states and so need to update time for the last state.
Currently, we are also doing this while user asks for the transition table of
frequencies. It wouldn't do any harm, but no good as well. Its useless here.

Userspace is free to read value of any file from cpufreq/stats directory once
they are created. __cpufreq_stats_create_table() is creating the sysfs files
first and then allocating resources for them. Though it would be quite difficult
to trigger the racy situation here, but for the sake of keeping sensible code
lets create sysfs entries only after we are ready to go.
This also does some makeup to the routine to make it look better.

It is better to pass a struct cpufreq_stats pointer to cpufreq_stats_update()
instead of a CPU number, because that's all it needs.
Even if we pass a cpu number to cpufreq_stats_update(), it reads the per-cpu
variable to get 'stats' out of it. So we are doing these operations
unnecessarily:
- First getting the cpu number to pass to cpufreq_stats_update(), stat->cpu.
- And then getting stats from the cpu, per_cpu(cpufreq_stats_table, cpu).

__cpufreq_stats_create_table() is called from:
- cpufreq notifier on creation of a new policy. Stats will always be
NULL here.
- cpufreq_stats_init() for all CPUs as cpufreq-stats might have been
initialized after cpufreq driver. For any policy, 'stats' will be
NULL for the first CPU only and will be valid for all other CPUs
managed by the same policy.
While we return for other CPUs, we don't return the right error value.
It's not that we would fail with -EBUSY. But generally, this is what
these return values mean:
- EBUSY: we are busy right now, try again. And the retry attempt might
be immediate.
- EEXIST: We already have what you are trying to create and there is no
need to create it again, and so no more tries are required.

We should stop cpufreq governors when we shut down the system. If we
don't do this, we can end up with this deadlock:
1. cpufreq governor may be running on a CPU other than CPU0.
2. In machine_restart() we call smp_send_stop() which stops CPUs.
If one of these CPUs was actively running a cpufreq governor
then it may have the mutex / spinlock needed to access the main
PMIC in the system (perhaps over I2C)
3. If a machine needs access to the main PMIC in order to shutdown
then it will never get it since the mutex was lost when the other
CPU stopped.
4. We'll hang (possibly eventually hitting the hard lockup detector).
Let's avoid the problem by stopping the cpufreq governor at shutdown,
which is a sensible thing to do anyway.
