[PATCH] cpufreq: vexpress-spc: Fix wrong alternation of policy->related_cpus during CPU hp

From: Dietmar Eggemann

Since commit ca74b316df96 ("arm: Use common cpu_topology structure and
functions.") the core cpumask has to be modified during cpu hotplug
operations.

("arm: Fix topology setup in case of CPU hotplug for CONFIG_SCHED_MC")
[1] fixed that but revealed another issue on TC2, i.e in its cpufreq
driver.

During CPU hp stress operations on multiple CPUs, policy->related_cpus
can be altered. This is wrong since this cpumask should contain the
online and offline CPUs.

The WARN_ON(!cpumask_test_cpu(cpu, policy->related_cpus)) in
cpufreq_online() triggers in this case.

The core cpumask can't be used to set the policy->cpus in
ve_spc_cpufreq_init() anymore in case it is called via
cpuhp_cpufreq_online()->cpufreq_online()->cpufreq_driver->init().

An empty online() callback can be used to avoid that the init()
driver function is called during CPU hotplug in so that
policy->related_cpus will not be changed.

Implementing an online() also requires an offline() callback.

Tested on TC2 with CPU hp stress test (CPU hp from multiple CPUs at
the same time).
