[patch 2/4] cpufreq: Mark policy_rwsem as going static in cpufreq.c wont be exported

[venkatesh . pallipadi]

lock_policy_rwsem_* and unlock_policy_rwsem_* routines in cpufreq.c are
currently exported to drivers. Improper use of those locks can
result in deadlocks and it is better to keep the locks localized.
Two previous in-kernel users of these interfaces (ondemand and conservative),
do not use this interfaces any more. Schedule them for removal.
