cpufreq: unlock correct rwsem while updating policy->cpu
Current code looks like this:
WARN_ON(lock_policy_rwsem_write(cpu));
update_policy_cpu(policy, new_cpu);
unlock_policy_rwsem_write(cpu);
{lock|unlock}_policy_rwsem_write(cpu) takes/releases policy->cpu's rwsem.
Because cpu is changing with the call to update_policy_cpu(), the
unlock_policy_rwsem_write() will release the incorrect lock.
The right solution would be to release the same lock as was taken earlier. Also
update_policy_cpu() was also called from cpufreq_add_dev() without any locks and
so its better if we move this locking to inside update_policy_cpu().
This patch fixes a regression introduced in 3.12 by commit f9ba680d23
(cpufreq: Extract the handover of policy cpu to a helper function).
