Hi Rafael:

Thanks for reminder. I just checked Chen Gong's patchset "Gloabl CPU
Hot-plug flag _FROZEN Clean up". There is no conflict between our
patches. Gong's patch is to remove the following macro.

CPU_ONLINE_FROZEN
CPU_UP_PREPARE_FROZEN
CPU_UP_CANCELED_FROZEN
CPU_DOWN_PREPARE_FROZEN
CPU_DOWN_FAILED_FROZEN
CPU_DEAD_FROZEN
CPU_DYING_FROZEN
CPU_STARTING_FROZEN

CPU_TASKS_FROZEN is still available and the CPU events during S2RAM
are still (CPU_xxx | CPU_TASKS_FROZEN).

BTW, this is a bug fix from my opinion and it should be backported to
stable tree.
