Fix the following warnings:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.exit.text+0xc4fa): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpufreq_stats_exit() to the variable .cpuinit.data:cpufreq_stat_cpu_notifier
The warnings were casued by references to unregister_hotcpu_notifier()
from normal functions or exit functions.
This is flagged by modpost as a potential error because
it does not know that for the non HOTPLUG_CPU
scenario the unregister_hotcpu_notifier() is a nop.
Silence the warning by replacing the __initdata
annotation with a __refdata annotation.

Eliminate cpufreq_userspace scaling_setspeed deadlock.
Luming Yu recently uncovered yet another cpufreq related deadlock.
One thread that continuously switches the governors and the other thread that
repeatedly cats the contents of cpufreq directory causes both these threads to
go into a deadlock.
Detailed examination of the deadlock showed the exact flow before the deadlock
as:
Thread 1 Thread 2
________ ________
cats files under /sys/devices/.../cpufreq/
Set governor to userspace
Adds a new sysfs entry for
scaling_setspeed
cats files under /sys/devices/.../cpufreq/
Set governor to performance
Holds cpufreq_rw_sem in write
mode
Sends a STOP notify to
userspace governor
cat /sys/devices/.../cpufreq/scaling_setspeed
Gets a handle on the above sysfs entry with
sysfs_get_active
Blocks while trying to get cpufreq_rw_sem
in read mode
Remove a sysfs entry for
scaling_setspeed
Blocks on sysfs_deactivate
while waiting for earlier
get_active (on other thread)
to drain
At this point both threads go into deadlock and any other thread that tries to
do anything with sysfs cpufreq will also block.
There seems to be no easy way to avoid this deadlock as long as
cpufreq_userspace adds/removes the sysfs entry under same kobject as cpufreq.
Below patch moves scaling_setspeed to cpufreq.c, keeping it always and calling
back the governor on read/write. This is the cleanest fix I could think of,
even though adding two callbacks in governor structure just for this seems
unnecessary.
Note that the change makes scaling_setspeed under /sys/.../cpufreq permanent
and returns <unsupported> when governor is not userspace.

When the cpufreq driver starts up at boot time, it calls into the default
governor which might not be initialised yet. This hurts when the
governor's worker function relies on memory that is not yet set up by its
init function.
This migrates all governors from module_init() to fs_initcall() when being
the default, as was already done in cpufreq_performance when it was the
only possible choice. The performance governor is always initialized early
because it might be used as fallback even when not being the default.
Fixes at least one actual oops where ondemand is the default governor and
cpufreq_governor_dbs() uses the uninitialised kondemand_wq work-queue
during boot-time.

Ingo hit some BUG_ONs that were probably caused by these missing unlocks
causing an unbalance. He couldn't reproduce the bug reliably, so it's
unknown that it's definitly fixing the problem he hit, but it's a fairly
good chance, and this fixes an obvious bug.
[ Dave: "Ingo followed up that he hit some lockdep related output with
this applied, so it may not be right. I'll look at it after
xmas if no-one has it figured out before then."
Akpm: "It looks pretty correct to me though." ]

Make cpufreq_conservative handle out-of-sync events properly
Currently, the cpufreq_conservative governor doesn't get notified when the
actual frequency the cpu is running at differs from what cpufreq thought it
was. As a result the cpu may stay at the maximum frequency after a s2ram /
resume cycle even though the system is idle.

A number of different drivers incorrect access the kobject name field
directly. This is not correct as the name might not be in the array.
Use the proper accessor function instead.
I don't see any reason to take an expensive lock in cpufreq_quick_get()
Reading policy->cur is a single atomic operation and after
the lock is dropped again the state could change any time anyways.
So don't take the lock in the first place.
This also makes this function interrupt safe which is useful
for some code of mine.

* Stop referencing the callback directly from the __init and __exit
functions of this driver, and instead explicitly call
cpufreq_update_policy() et al. This enables the callback function
to be marked as __cpuinit (and the notifier_block __cpuinitdata),
thereby saving space when HOTPLUG_CPU=n. This also enables us to
use other tricks to replace __cpuinit{data} in future.
* cpufreq_stats_free_table() is only called from __cpuinit or __exit
marked functions, making it an ideal candidate for __cpuexit.
* Fix missing space in the module description

Depending on the transition latency of the HW for cpufreq switches, the
ondemand or conservative governor cannot be used with certain cpufreq
drivers. Still the ondemand should be the default governor on a wide range
of systems. This patch allows this and lets the governor fallback to the
performance governor at cpufreq driver load time, if the driver does not
support fast enough frequency switching.
Main benefit is that on e.g. installation or other systems without
userspace support a working dynamic cpufreq support can be achieved on most
systems by simply loading the cpufreq driver. This is especially essential
for recent x86(_64) laptop hardware which may rely on working dynamic
cpufreq OS support.

Negative side effect: needs NR_CPUs pointer array of memory in
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU case.
Still needs userspace track keeping and rewriting of governors if governors
change while a CPU is not active (always the governor at CPU remove time is
restored).
Move of policy->user_policy.governor assignment is just a minor cleanup.
