For a shared cpufreq policy this re-introduces the race originally fixed by commit ab2f7cf141aa ("cpufreq: schedutil: Fix sugov_start() versus sugov_update_shared() race"). The scheduler's util path reaches the hook under RCU-sched and never takes policy->rwsem, so the rwsem held across sugov_start() cannot serialize the two. Once the first CPU's hook is published, sugov_update_shared() may run and, via sugov_next_freq_shared(), read/write each sibling sugov_cpu (iowait_boost, util, bw_min, ...) concurrently with the memset() still initializing them, with no lock common to both sides: the update side holds sg_policy->update_lock while the init side holds only policy->rwsem, which the scheduler's util path never takes. The walk only accesses scalar members, never a pointer like ->sg_policy, so it does not crash today; it merely uses stale (or zero on first start) values that skew the frequency selection and tracepoints. It is still a genuine data race, and a latent crash once any pointer member is dereferenced there. Restore the two-phase approach: initialize all per-CPU structures first, and only then publish the per-CPU utilization update hooks.
