    cpufreq: Drop rwsem lock around CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT · 955ef483
    Viresh Kumar authored
    With the rwsem lock around
    __cpufreq_governor(policy, CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT), we
    get circular dependency when we call sysfs_remove_group().
    
     ======================================================
     [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]

     -------------------------------------------------------
     cat/2387 is trying to acquire lock:
      (&per_cpu(cpu_policy_rwsem, cpu)){+++++.}, at: [<c02f6179>] lock_policy_rwsem_read+0x25/0x34
    
     but task is already holding lock:
      (s_active#41){++++.+}, at: [<c00f9bf7>] sysfs_read_file+0x4f/0xcc
    
     which lock already depends on the new lock.
    
     the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

    This lock isn't required while calling __cpufreq_governor(policy,
    CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT). Remove it.
