ACPI: platform-profile: Fix possible deadlock in platform_profile_remove()
After a rmmod thinkpad_acpi, lockdep pointed out this possible deadlock:
Our _show and _store sysfs attr functions get called with the kn->active
lock held for the sysfs attr and then take the profile_lock.
sysfs_remove_group() also takes the kn->active lock for the sysfs attr,
so if we call it with the profile_lock held, then we get an ABBA deadlock.
platform_profile_remove() must only be called by drivers which have
first *successfully* called platform_profile_register(). Anything else
is a driver bug. So the check for cur_profile being set before calling
sysfs_remove_group() is not necessary and it can be dropped.
It is safe to call sysfs_remove_group() without holding the profile_lock
since the attr-group group cannot be re-added until after we clear
cur_profile.
Change platform_profile_remove() to only hold the profile_lock while
clearing the cur_profile, fixing the deadlock.
