[PATCH] cpufreq: schedutil: Destroy mutex before kobject_put() frees the memory
From: James Morse
Date: Tue Sep 14 2021 - 12:56:35 EST
Since commit e5c6b312ce3c ("cpufreq: schedutil: Use kobject release()
method to free sugov_tunables") kobject_put() has kfree()d the
attr_set before gov_attr_set_put() returns.
kobject_put() isn't the last user of attr_set in gov_attr_set_put(),
the subsequent mutex_destroy() triggers a use-after-free:
