Waiman Long 9b3d9bb3e4 cpufreq: Fix a circular lock dependency problem
With lockdep turned on, the following circular lock dependency problem
was reported:

[   57.470040] ======================================================

[   59.208541]
[   59.208541]  *** DEADLOCK ***

In the cpufreq_register_driver() function, the lock sequence is:

  cpus_read_lock --> kn->count

For the cpufreq sysfs store method, the lock sequence is:

  kn->count --> cpus_read_lock

These sequences are actually safe as they are taking a share lock on
cpu_hotplug_lock. However, the current lockdep code doesn't check for
share locking when detecting circular lock dependency.  Fixing that
could be a substantial effort.

Instead, we can work around this problem by using cpus_read_trylock()
in the store method which is much simpler. The chance of not getting
the read lock is very small. If that happens, the userspace application
that writes the sysfs file will get an error.
