[PATCH] cpufreq: Fix an use-after-free in gov_attr_set_put

From: Qian Cai
Date: Tue Sep 14 2021 - 16:37:12 EST


A recent commit started to call sugov_tunables_free() in
kobject_release() which results in an use-after-free when
mutex_destroy() is called later in gov_attr_set_put(). Fixed it by
calling mutex_destroy() before kobject_put().
