cpufreq: Drop rwsem lock around CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT

With the rwsem lock around
__cpufreq_governor(policy, CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT), we
get circular dependency when we call sysfs_remove_group().

 ======================================================
 [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
 3.9.0-rc7+ #15 Not tainted
 -------------------------------------------------------
 cat/2387 is trying to acquire lock:
  (&per_cpu(cpu_policy_rwsem, cpu)){+++++.}, at: [<c02f6179>] lock_policy_rwsem_read+0x25/0x34

 but task is already holding lock:
  (s_active#41){++++.+}, at: [<c00f9bf7>] sysfs_read_file+0x4f/0xcc

 which lock already depends on the new lock.

 the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

 other info that might help us debug this:

  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

This lock isn't required while calling __cpufreq_governor(policy,
CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_EXIT). Remove it.
