sched/debug: Fix potential deadlock when writing to sched_features 

The following lockdep report can be triggered by writing to /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features:

  other info that might help us debug this:
  Chain exists of:
    cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem --> opp_table_lock --> &sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#3
   Possible unsafe locking scenario:
         CPU0                    CPU1
         ----                    ----
    lock(&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#3);
                                 lock(opp_table_lock);
                                 lock(&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#3);
    lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem);

This is because when loading the cpufreq_dt module we first acquire
cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem lock, then in cpufreq_init(), we are taking
the &sb->s_type->i_mutex_key lock.

But when writing to /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features, the
cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem lock depends on the &sb->s_type->i_mutex_key lock.

To fix this bug, reverse the lock acquisition order when writing to
sched_features, this way cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem no longer depends on
&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key.
