Since commit e5c6b312ce3c ("cpufreq: schedutil: Use kobject release()
method to free sugov_tunables") kobject_put() has kfree()d the
attr_set before gov_attr_set_put() returns.

kobject_put() isn't the last user of attr_set in gov_attr_set_put(),
the subsequent mutex_destroy() triggers a use-after-free:

Swap the order of the calls.

Doh

I should have caught this one, thanks!
