Revert "cpufreq: Drop rwsem lock around CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT"

Earlier, when the struct freq-attr was used to represent governor
attributes, the standard cpufreq show/store sysfs attribute callbacks
were applied to the governor tunable attributes and they always acquire
the policy->rwsem lock before carrying out the operation.  That could
have resulted in an ABBA deadlock if governor tunable attributes are
removed under policy->rwsem while one of them is being accessed
concurrently (if sysfs attributes removal wins the race, it will wait
for the access to complete with policy->rwsem held while the attribute
callback will block on policy->rwsem indefinitely).

We attempted to address this issue by dropping policy->rwsem around
governor tunable attributes removal (that is, around invocations of the
->governor callback with the event arg equal to CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT)
in cpufreq_set_policy(), but that opened up race conditions that had not
been possible with policy->rwsem held all the time.

The previous commit, "cpufreq: governor: New sysfs show/store callbacks
for governor tunables", fixed the original ABBA deadlock by adding new
governor specific show/store callbacks.

We don't have to drop rwsem around invocations of governor event
CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT anymore, and original fix can be reverted now.
