[CPUFREQ] remove rwsem lock from CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP call (second call site)

remove rwsem lock from CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP call (second call site)

commit	42a06f2166

Missed a call site for CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP to remove the rwlock taken around the
teardown. To make a long story short, the rwlock write-lock causes a circular
dependency with cancel_delayed_work_sync(), because the timer handler takes the
read lock.

Note that all callers to __cpufreq_set_policy are taking the rwsem. All sysfs
callers (writers) hold the write rwsem at the earliest sysfs calling stage.

However, the rwlock write-lock is not needed upon governor stop.
