Sorry guys, I'm trying my best to stop this patch from propagating to 
stable and to get it fixed asap, so, the CC list might be a bit excessive. 
Also trying to fix the originally spare cc list, which makes it impossible 
for me to reply to the original thread, instead have to start a new one.

    cpufreq: fix serialization issues with freq change notifiers

breaks .transition_ongoing counting. This leads to cpufreq-cpu0 not 
working any more. In particular switching the governor from performance to 
powersave directly after boot doesn't result in a frequency switch any 
more. Reverting this patch fixes the problem again. Tested with today's 
-next.

Please, refrain from including into "stable" until clarified!

Thanks
Guennadi
