Using the cpufreq_gov_mutex to protect internal governor data structures. The
policy rwsem write lock nests inside this mutex. The policy rwsem is taken in
the timer handler, and therefore cannot be held while doing a sync teardown of
the timer. This cpufreq_gov_mutex lock protects init/teardown of governor
timers. This is why this lock, although it protects a data structure located
within the governors, is located in cpufreq.c.
