Right! That is because we need to make sure the tick does not queue any
more irq work while we do our cleanup (irq_work_sync() and then
kthread_cancel_work_sync()). Then kthread_cancel_work_sync() would
ensure the last worker wraps up so we can free the data.

I was hoping to avoid this but I don't currently see another way either.

Yep, looks good (with its call on cppc_cpufreq_cpu_exit()).

Feel free to post V3 and I'll take an even closer look during testing.
