Subject[PATCH] cpuidle: (POWER) Replace pseries_notify_cpuidle_add call with a elegant notifier to fix lockdep problem in start_secondary

The following patch is to remove the pseries_notify_add_cpu() call
and replace it by a hot plug notifier.
This would prevent cpuidle resources being
released and allocated each time cpu comes online on pseries.
The earlier design was causing a lockdep problem
in start_secondary as reported on this thread
-https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/17/2

This applies on 3.4-rc7
