Subject: [PATCH 5.10 04/93] cpufreq: schedutil: Destroy mutex before kobject_put() frees the memory

From: James Morse <james.morse@....com>

[ Upstream commit cdef1196608892b9a46caa5f2b64095a7f0be60c ]

Since commit e5c6b312ce3c ("cpufreq: schedutil: Use kobject release()
method to free sugov_tunables") kobject_put() has kfree()d the
attr_set before gov_attr_set_put() returns.

kobject_put() isn't the last user of attr_set in gov_attr_set_put(),
the subsequent mutex_destroy() triggers a use-after-free:
