Btw., FYI, because my test-systems were frequently triggering those 
bugs, i kept testing the following series from you and Mathieu in 
-tip:

 ecf8b04: cpufreq: Define dbs_mutex purpose and cleanup its usage conservative gov
 b08c597: cpufreq: Define dbs_mutex purpose and cleanup its usage
 0807e30: cpufreq: remove rwsem lock from CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP call (second call site)

So that fix-series, while probably not complete (given that you sent 
a v2 series), worked well in practice and gets my:

 Tested-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx>

Is the delta between this (tested) series and your v2 version 
significant? If not it might make sense to shape it as a delta patch 
to the v1 series, if that looks clean enough - to preserve testing 
results.
