This is because load of cpufreq_dt module firstly acquires
cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem lock, then in cpufreq_init, it holds
&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key lock.
But write to /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features, cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem lock
depends on &sb->s_type->i_mutex_key lock.
This patch by reversing the lock acquisition order when write to
sched_features, this way cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem no longer depends on
&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key.
