[PATCH] cpufreq: fix section mismatch warnings

cpufreq are the only remaining bit to be solved for me to have a modpost
clean build for sparc64 - so I took one more look at it.
changelog entry:

Fix section mismatch warnings in cpufreq:
WARNING: drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_stats.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .data between 'cpufreq_stat_cpu_notifier' (at offset 0xa8) and 'notifier_policy_block'
WARNING: drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_stats.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .exit.text after 'cleanup_module' (at offset 0x30)

The culprint is the function: cpufreq_stat_cpu_callback
It is marked __cpuinit which get's redefined to __init in case
HOTPLUG_CPU is not enabled as per. init.h:

#ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
#define __cpuinit
#else
#define __cpuinit       __init
#endif

$> grep HOTPLUG .config
CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y

But cpufreq_stat_cpu_callback() is used in:
__exit cpufreq_stats_exit()
static struct notifier_block cpufreq_stat_cpu_notifier

cpufreq_stat_cpu_notifier is again used in:
__init cpufreq_stats_init()
__exit cpufreq_stats_exit()

So in both cases used from both __init and __exit context.
Only solution seems to drop __cpuinit tag.
