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:

rc.local/770 is trying to acquire lock:
 (cooling_cpufreq_lock){+.+.+.}, at: [<c04abfc4>] cpufreq_thermal_notifier+0x34/0xfc

but task is already holding lock:
 ((cpufreq_policy_notifier_list).rwsem){++++.+}, at: [<c0042f04>]  __blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x34/0x68

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

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.
