The static key arch_scale_freq_key only needs to be enabled once (at
boot). This change fixes a bug by which the key was enabled every time cpu0
is started, even as a secondary CPU during cpu hotplug. Secondary CPUs are
started from the idle thread: setting a static key from there means
acquiring a lock and may result in sleeping in the idle task, causing CPU
lockup.
Another consequence of this change is that init_counter_refs() is now
called on each CPU correctly; previously the function on_each_cpu() was
used, but it was called at boot when the only online cpu is cpu0.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
