[CPUFREQ] fix BUG on cpufreq policy init failure

Browse Source 
cpufreq_register_driver sets cpufreq_driver to a structure owned (and
placed) in the caller's memory. If cpufreq policy fails in its ->init
function, sysdev_driver_register returns nonzero in
cpufreq_register_driver. Now, cpufreq_register_driver returns an error
without setting cpufreq_driver back to NULL.

Usually cpufreq policy modules are unloaded because they propagate the
error to the module init function and return that.

So a later access to any member of cpufreq_driver causes bugs like:

It's all cause by weird fail path handling in cpufreq_register_driver.
To fix that, shuffle the code to do proper handling with gotos.
