Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
PM: domains: Fix sleep-in-atomic bug caused by genpd_debug_remove()<br />
<br />
When a genpd with GENPD_FLAG_IRQ_SAFE gets removed, the following<br />
sleep-in-atomic bug will be seen, as genpd_debug_remove() will be called<br />
with a spinlock being held.<br />

It doesn&#39;t seem necessary to call genpd_debug_remove() with the lock, so<br />
move it out from locking to fix the problem.
