[PATCH] thermal: power_allocator: fix one race condition issue for thermal_instances list

From: Yi Zeng
Date: Tue Dec 26 2017 - 06:38:29 EST


When invoking allow_maximum_power and traverse tz->thermal_instances,
we should grab thermal_zone_device->lock to avoid race condition. For
example, during the system reboot, if the mali GPU device implements
device shutdown callback and unregister GPU devfreq cooling device,
the deleted list head may be accessed to cause panic, as the following
log shows:
