AFAIR, the ABBA issue was between the sysfs lock and the policy lock.
The fix for that issue should not be dropping the lock around
POLICY_EXIT. The proper fix is to have the governor "export" the
attributes it wants to add/remove and have the cpufreq framework do the
adding/removing of the attributes from sysfs for the governor.
