Subject: [BUG cpufreq] Invalid argument on writing to scaling_governor

Hi Prarit,

I noticed that commit dbcbfe6aa0d61ae5e13cab43b30802482007c199 ("cpufreq: hold
policy->rwsem for duration of changing governors") will cause this problem:

root@...4 ~# echo performance > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/cpufreq/scaling_governor
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

root@...4 ~# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors
conservative userspace powersave ondemand performance

Thanks,
Fengguang
