cpufreq: Rearrange locking in cpufreq_remove_dev()



[ Upstream commit f339f354 ]

Currently, cpufreq_remove_dev() invokes the ->exit() driver callback
without holding the policy rwsem which is inconsistent with what
happens if ->exit() is invoked directly from cpufreq_offline().

It also manipulates the real_cpus mask and removes the CPU device
symlink without holding the policy rwsem, but cpufreq_offline() holds
the rwsem around the modifications thereof.

For consistency, modify cpufreq_remove_dev() to hold the policy rwsem
until the ->exit() callback has been called (or it has been determined
that it is not necessary to call it).
