    cpufreq: Initialize governor for a new policy under policy->rwsem · 4e97b631
    Viresh Kumar authored
    policy->rwsem is used to lock access to all parts of code modifying
    struct cpufreq_policy, but it's not used on a new policy created by
    __cpufreq_add_dev().
    
    Because of that, if cpufreq_update_policy() is called in a tight loop
    on one CPU in parallel with offline/online of another CPU, then the
    following crash can be triggered:
    
    Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000020
    pgd = c0003000
    [00000020] *pgd=80000000004003, *pmd=00000000
    Internal error: Oops: 206 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM
    
    PC is at __cpufreq_governor+0x10/0x1ac
    LR is at cpufreq_update_policy+0x114/0x150

    Fix that by taking locks at appropriate places in __cpufreq_add_dev()
    as well.
