cpufreq: Drop policy locking from cpufreq_policy_is_good_for_eas()
Policy locking was added to cpufreq_policy_is_good_for_eas() by commit 4854649b ("cpufreq/sched: Move cpufreq-specific EAS checks to cpufreq") to address a theoretical race condition, but it turned out to introduce a circular locking dependency between the policy rwsem and sched_domains_mutex via cpuset_mutex. This leads to a board lockup on OdroidN2 that is based on the ARM64 Amlogic Meson SoC. Drop the policy locking from cpufreq_policy_is_good_for_eas() to address this issue.
