[ Upstream commit f339f3541701d824a0256ad4bf14c26ceb6d79c3 ]
Currently, cpufreq_remove_dev() invokes the ->exit() driver callback
without holding the policy rwsem which is inconsistent with what
happens if ->exit() is invoked directly from cpufreq_offline().
It also manipulates the real_cpus mask and removes the CPU device
symlink without holding the policy rwsem, but cpufreq_offline() holds
the rwsem around the modifications thereof.
For consistency, modify cpufreq_remove_dev() to hold the policy rwsem
until the ->exit() callback has been called (or it has been determined
that it is not necessary to call it).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
