[PATCH] cpufreq_stats: fix race between stats allocation and firstusage

From: Konstantin Khlebnikov
Date: Fri Dec 14 2012 - 05:59:18 EST

This patch forces complete struct cpufreq_stats allocation for all cpus before
registering CPUFREQ_TRANSITION_NOTIFIER notifier, otherwise in some conditions
cpufreq_stat_notifier_trans() can be called in the middle of stats allocation,
in this case cpufreq_stats_table already exists, but stat->freq_table is NULL.
