[RFC PATCH 15/19] cpufreq: remove useless usage of cpufreq_governor_mutex in __cpufreq_governor

Show all headers | View raw

Commit 6f1e4efd882e ("cpufreq: Fix timer/workqueue corruption by
protecting reading governor_enabled") made policy->governor_enabled
guarded by cpufreq_governor_mutex in __cpufreq_governor. Now that
holding of policy->rwsem is asserted in __cpufreq_governor,
cpufreq_governor_mutex is overkilling.

Remove such usage. Also, this cleans up semantic of
cpufreq_governor_mutex: it guards cpufreq_governor_list only.
