[PATCH] drivers/hwmon/coretemp: Fix incorrect hot-removed CPU's core sensor issue

From: Fenghua Yu
Date: Wed Aug 18 2010 - 19:03:12 EST


From: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@xxxxxxxxx>

In current coretemp driver, when a CPU in dev_list is hot-removed, although its
HT sibling is still running, its core sensor is gone and not available to user
level application any more.

When a CPU is hot-removed, its core sensor should be still available to upper
level application as long as the hot-removed CPU's HT sibling is still running.
A core sensor is invisible to user level only when all of siblings in a core are
hot-removed.

This patch fixes this issue.
