cpufreq: interactive: fix racy timer stopping

When stopping the governor, del_timer_sync() can race against an
invocation of the idle notifier callback, which has the potential
to reactivate the timer.

To fix this issue, a read-write semaphore is used. Multiple readers are
allowed as long as pcpu->governor_enabled is true.  However it can be
moved to false only after taking a write semaphore which would wait for
any on-going asynchronous activities to complete and prevent any more of
those activities to be initiated.
