[PATCH] Close race with preempt and modular pm_idle callbacks

The following patch from Shaohua Li fixes a race with preempt enabled when
a module containing a pm_idle callback is unloaded.  Cached values in local
variables need to be protected as RCU critical sections so that the
synchronize_kernel() call in the unload path waits for all processors.
There original bugzilla entry can be found at

Shaohua, i had to make a small change (variable declaration after code in
code block) so that it compiles with geriatric compilers such as the ones
Andrew is attached to ;)
