Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: schedutil: Use kobject release() method to free sugov_tunables
Date:   Thu, 15 Jul 2021 17:53:37 +0800

The struct sugov_tunables is protected by the kobject, so we can't free
it directly. Otherwise we would get a call trace like this:
  ODEBUG: free active (active state 0) object type: timer_list hint: delayed_work_timer_fn+0x0/0x30

So add a release() method for sugov_tunables_ktype to release the
sugov_tunables safely.
