    Subject[PATCH 3.16 075/134] powerpc/sysfs: Fix reference leak of cpu device_nodes present at boot
    3.16.47-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------

    From: Tyrel Datwyler <tyreld@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

    commit e76ca27790a514590af782f83f6eae49e0ccf8c9 upstream.

    For CPUs present at boot each logical CPU acquires a reference to the
    associated device node of the core. This happens in register_cpu() which
    is called by topology_init(). The result of this is that we end up with
    a reference held by each thread of the core. However, these references
    are never freed if the CPU core is DLPAR removed.

    This patch fixes the reference leaks by acquiring and releasing the references
    in the CPU hotplug callbacks un/register_cpu_online(). With this patch symmetric
    reference counting is observed with both CPUs present at boot, and those DLPAR
    added after boot.

    Fixes: f86e4718f24b ("driver/core: cpu: initialize of_node in cpu's device struture")
