[PATCH 2/2] remove rwsem lock from CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP call (second call site)

[Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de>]

From: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca>

Missed a call site for CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP to remove the rwlock taken around the
teardown. To make a long story short, the rwlock write-lock causes a circular
dependency with cancel_delayed_work_sync(), because the timer handler takes the
write lock.

Note that all callers to __cpufreq_set_policy are taking the rwsem. All sysfs
callers (writers) hold the write rwsem at the earliest sysfs calling stage.

However, the rwlock write-lock is not needed upon governor stop.
