Subject: [PATCH 4.4 04/83] thermal: cpu_cooling: Avoid accessing potentially freed structures

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

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

From: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@...aro.org>

commit 289d72afddf83440117c35d864bf0c6309c1d011 upstream.

After the lock is dropped, it is possible that the cpufreq_dev gets
freed before we call get_level() and that can cause kernel to crash.

Drop the lock after we are done using the structure.
