CVE-2023-53563

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

cpufreq: amd-pstate-ut: Fix kernel panic when loading the driver

After loading the amd-pstate-ut driver, amd_pstate_ut_check_perf()
and amd_pstate_ut_check_freq() use cpufreq_cpu_get() to get the policy
of the CPU and mark it as busy.

In these functions, cpufreq_cpu_put() should be used to release the
policy, but it is not, so any other entity trying to access the policy
is blocked indefinitely.

One such scenario is when amd_pstate mode is changed, leading to the
following splat:

Fix this by calling cpufreq_cpu_put() wherever necessary.
