These two routines should be defined as a no-op if CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE
is not defined in linux/cpu.h.  The update below should be in the patch set
you are looking at. 

from linux/cpu.h:

#ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE
extern void cpu_hotplug_driver_lock(void);
extern void cpu_hotplug_driver_unlock(void);
#else
static inline void cpu_hotplug_driver_lock(void)
{
}

static inline void cpu_hotplug_driver_unlock(void)
{
}
#endif
