Mauro reported that his AMD X2 using the powernow-k8 cpufreq driver locked up when doing cpu hotplug. Because we called set_cyc2ns_scale() from the time_cpufreq_notifier() unconditionally, it gets called multiple times for each freq change, instead of only the once, when the tsc_khz value actually changes. Because it gets called more than once, we run out of cyc2ns data slots and stall, waiting for a free one, but because we're half way offline, there's no consumers to free slots. By placing the call inside the condition that actually changes tsc_khz we avoid superfluous calls and avoid the problem.
