Subject: [PATCH 4.14 38/41] sched/cpufreq/schedutil: Fix error path mutex unlock

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

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

From: Jules Maselbas <jules.maselbas@....com>

commit 1b5d43cfb69759d8ef8d30469cea31d0c037aed5 upstream.

This patch prevents the 'global_tunables_lock' mutex from being
unlocked before being locked.  This mutex is not locked if the
sugov_kthread_create() function fails.
