Subject: [PATCH 3.13 171/212] cpufreq: remove race while accessing cur_policy

3.13.11.4 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Bibek Basu <bbasu@...dia.com>

commit c5450db85b828d0c46ac8fc570fb8a51bf07ac40 upstream.

While accessing cur_policy during executing events
CPUFREQ_GOV_START, CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP, CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS,
same mutex lock is not taken, dbs_data->mutex, which leads
to race and data corruption while running continious suspend
resume test. This is seen with ondemand governor with suspend
resume test using rtcwake.
