[patch 1/2] smp/hotplug: Undo tglxs brainfart

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Mon Dec 26 2016 - 17:05:26 EST


The attempt to prevent overwriting an active state resulted in a disaster
which effectively disables all dynamically allocated hotplug states.

Cleanup the mess.

Fixes: dc280d936239 ("cpu/hotplug: Prevent overwriting of callbacks")
