Since commit 1cf4f629d9d2 "cpu/hotplug: Move online calls to

scripts/checkpatch.pl now enforces commit citing certain style, yours doesn't quite match it, also need parens around quotes enclosing the summary.

CPU_DOWN_PREPARE are processed on the hotplugged cpu. Due to this SMP
function calls are no longer required.

Replace smp_call_function_single() with a direct call to
clear_os_lock(). The function writes the OSLAR register to clear OS
locking. This does not require to be called with interrupts disabled,
therefore the smp_call_function_single() calling convention is not
preserved.
