[PATCH 4/5] cpufreq: Don't drop rwsem before calling CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT

From: Viresh Kumar
Date: Tue Feb 02 2016 - 05:58:03 EST


Commit 955ef4833574 ("cpufreq: Drop rwsem lock around
CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT") dropped these because of some ABBA lockup
issues.

The previous commit has fixed them all and we don't need to drop these
locks anymore.
