The following lockdep report can be triggered by writing to /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features:

  WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected

  sh/3358 is trying to acquire lock:

  which lock already depends on the new lock.

   Possible unsafe locking scenario:

This is because when loading the cpufreq_dt module we first acquire
cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem lock, then in cpufreq_init(), we are taking
the &sb->s_type->i_mutex_key lock.

But when writing to /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features, the
cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem lock depends on the &sb->s_type->i_mutex_key lock.

To fix this bug, reverse the lock acquisition order when writing to
sched_features, this way cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem no longer depends on
&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key.
