cooling_list_lock is covering not just cpufreq_dev_count, but also the
calls to cpufreq_register_notifier() and cpufreq_unregister_notifier().
Since cooling_list_lock is also used within cpufreq_thermal_notifier(),
lockdep reports a potential deadlock. Fix it by testing the condition
under cooling_list_lock and dropping the lock before calling
cpufreq_register_notifier(). And variable cpufreq_dev_count is removed
at the same time, because it's no longer needed after the fix.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
