Rusty Russell 1ff6e97f1d [CPUFREQ] cpumask: avoid playing with cpus_allowed in powernow-k8.c
cpumask: avoid playing with cpus_allowed in powernow-k8.c

It's generally a very bad idea to mug some process's cpumask: it could
legitimately and reasonably be changed by root, which could break us
(if done before our code) or them (if we restore the wrong value).

I did not replace powernowk8_target; it needs fixing, but it grabs a
mutex (so no smp_call_function_single here) but Mark points out it can
be called multiple times per second, so work_on_cpu is too heavy.
