cpufreq: Merge cpufreq_offline_prepare/finish routines
Commit 1aee40ac (cpufreq: Invoke __cpufreq_remove_dev_finish() after releasing cpu_hotplug.lock) split the cpufreq's CPU offline routine in two pieces, one of them to be run with CPU offline/online locked and the other to be called later. The reason for that split was a possible deadlock scenario involving cpufreq sysfs attributes and CPU offline. However, the handling of CPU offline in cpufreq has changed since then. Policy sysfs attributes are never removed during CPU offline, so there's no need to worry about accessing them during CPU offline, because that can't lead to any deadlocks now. Governor sysfs attributes are still removed in __cpufreq_governor(_EXIT), but there is a new kobject type for them now and its show/store callbacks don't lock CPU offline/online (they don't need to do that). This means that the CPU offline code in cpufreq doesn't need to be split any more, so combine cpufreq_offline_prepare() with cpufreq_offline_finish().
