[PATCH v6 2/2] cpufreq: make interface functions and lock holding state clear

From: Schspa Shi
Date: Sun May 15 2022 - 23:12:17 EST


cpufreq_offline() calls offline() and exit() under the policy rwsem
But they are called outside the rwsem in cpufreq_online().

This patch move the offline(), exit(), online(), init() to be inside
of policy rwsem to achieve a clear lock relationship.

All the init() online() implement only initialize policy object without
holding this lock and won't call cpufreq APIs need to hold this lock.
