cpufreq: use smp_call_function_[single|many]() in acpi-cpufreq.c

Atttempting to rid us of the problematic work_on_cpu().  Just use
smp_call_fuction_single() here.

This repairs a 10% sysbench(oltp)+mysql regression which Mike reported,
due to

      work_on_cpu(): rewrite it to create a kernel thread on demand

It seems that the kernel calls these acpi-cpufreq functions at a quite
high frequency.

Valdis Kletnieks also reports that this causes 70-90 forks per second on
his hardware.
