Even if cpu_down() fails, acpi_processor_remove() continues to remove the cpu.
But in this case, it should return error number since some process may run on
the cpu. If the cpu has a running process and the cpu is turned the power off,
the system cannot work well.

Ouch!

Strictly speaking, this is not thorough enough. What prevents someone
from onlining that same cpu again, at this point?
So, IMHO, you need to wrap the contents of this function inside a
get_online_cpus()/put_online_cpus() block, to prevent anyone else
from messing with CPU hotplug at the same time.
