Subject: [PATCH] ACPI / cpuidle: Fix NULL pointer issues when cpuidle is
 disabled

commit b88a634a903d9670aa5f2f785aa890628ce0dece upstream.

If cpuidle is disabled, that means that:

	per_cpu(acpi_cpuidle_device, pr->id)

is set to NULL as the acpi_processor_power_init ends up failing at

	 retval = cpuidle_register_driver(&acpi_idle_driver)

(in acpi_processor_power_init) and never sets the per_cpu idle
device.  So when acpi_processor_hotplug on CPU online notification
tries to reference said device it crashes:

cpu 3 spinlock event irq 62
