Subject: [PATCH 5.9 081/255] opp: Reduce the size of critical section in _opp_table_kref_release()

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

[ Upstream commit e0df59de670b48a923246fae1f972317b84b2764 ]

There is a lot of stuff here which can be done outside of the big
opp_table_lock, do that. This helps avoiding few circular dependency
lockdeps around debugfs and interconnects.
