Solve this by moving to finer grained locking - use one mutex to protect
the cpufreq_dev_list as a whole, and a separate lock to ensure correct
ordering of cpufreq notifier registration and removal.
cooling_list_lock is taken within cooling_cpufreq_lock on
(un)registration to preserve the behavior of the code, i.e. to
atomically add/remove to the list and (un)register the notifier.

Hi Eduardo/Zhang,
This is 4.2-rc material, please apply soon.
V1->V2:
- V1 was posted by Russell this morning and I made few minor changes to
it.
- Some sections (specially the Rant) of the commit log are dropped and
the last one is updated, as we do take cooling_list_lock within
cooling_cpufreq_lock.
- Above is updated in code during unregister sequence
- cooling_list_lock taken at few more places
- Minor reorganization of the code

From: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk> A recent change to the cpu_cooling code introduced a AB-BA deadlock scenario between the cpufreq_policy_notifier_list rwsem and the cooling_cpufreq_lock. This is caused by cooling_cpufreq_lock being held before the registration/removal of the notifier block (an operation which takes the rwsem), and the notifier code itself which takes the locks in the reverse order:
