Umm, it directly calls it? :-)

void cpuidle_uninstall_idle_handler(void)
{
if (enabled_devices) {
initialized = 0;
wake_up_all_idle_cpus();
}

/*
* Make sure external observers (such as the scheduler)
* are done looking at pointed idle states.
*/
synchronize_rcu();
}

Yup, they are, but lockdep is complaining about cpuidle_pause() acquiring
cpu_hotplug.lock ...
