As mentioned already in

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pm/CAJZ5v0g2tCZptcqh+c55YYiO7rDHmZivMLsmpq_7005zNPN1xg@mail.gmail.com/

this isn't particularly clean, because intel_pstate_cpu_offline() is
also used in the passive mode where the above call is not needed.

I would make a change like in the patch below instead.

Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: intel_pstate: Combine ->stop_cpu() and ->offline()

Combine the ->stop_cpu() and ->offline() callback routines for the
active mode of intel_pstate so as to avoid setting the ->stop_cpu
callback pointer which is going to be dropped from the framework.
