This callback allows the driver to do clean up before the CPU is
completely down and its state cannot be modified. This is used
by the intel_pstate driver to reduce the requested P state prior to
the core going away. This is required because the requested P state
of the offline core is used to select the package P state. This
effectively sets the floor package P state to the requested P state on
the offline core.

To speed up things a bit I changed the name of the new callback to ->stop_cpu
and made it void.

I also modified patch [2/2] accordingly and queued the both of them up for 3.15.

Please check the bleeding-edge branch.

I wouldn't like to need to do anything like that any more in the future, though.

Sorry had appointments yesterday afternoon.

bleeding-edge looks good

Nit: Why is it an int function if the only caller doesn't check the
return value? It should be void.
