cpufreq: governor: Avoid accessing invalid governor_data If cppc_cpufreq.ko is deleted at the same time that tuned-adm is changing profiles, there is a small chance that a race can occur between cpufreq_dbs_governor_exit() and cpufreq_dbs_governor_limits() resulting in a system failure when the latter tries to use policy->governor_data that has been freed by the former. This patch uses gov_dbs_data_mutex to synchronize access.
