Subject: [STABLE][PATCH 5.4] thermal/core/fair share: Lock the thermal zone while looping over instances

commit fef05776eb02238dcad8d5514e666a42572c3f32 upstream.

The tz->lock must be hold during the looping over the instances in that
thermal zone. This lock was missing in the governor code since the
beginning, so it's hard to point into a particular commit.

Hi all,

I've backported my patch which was sent to LKML:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pm/20210422153624.6074-2-lukasz.luba@arm.com/

The upstream patch failed while applying:
https://lore.kernel.org/stable/16206371506718@kroah.com/

This patch should apply to stable v5.4.y, on top of stable tree branch:
linux-5.4.y which head was at:
commit 16022114de98 Linux 5.4.118

Regards,
Lukasz Luba
