Rebuilding SDs when inserting the driver is already covered by

  cpufreq_online()
    cpufreq_set_policy()
      sched_cpufreq_governor_change()
        if (old or new gov eq. schedutil)
          schedule_work(&rebuild_sd_work)

So what's missing is only a sched_cpufreq_governor_change() call when
removing the driver, right?
