Prarit Bhargava 7106e02bae cpufreq: release policy->rwsem on error
While debugging a cpufreq-related hardware failure on a system I saw the
following lockdep warning:

 =========================

 cpufreq: __cpufreq_add_dev: ->get() failed
insmod: ERROR: could not insert module pcc-cpufreq.ko: No such device

The warning occurs in the __cpufreq_add_dev() code which does

        down_write(&policy->rwsem);
	...
        if (cpufreq_driver->get && !cpufreq_driver->setpolicy) {
                policy->cur = cpufreq_driver->get(policy->cpu);
                if (!policy->cur) {
                        pr_err("%s: ->get() failed\n", __func__);
                        goto err_get_freq;
                }

If cpufreq_driver->get(policy->cpu) returns an error we execute the
code at err_get_freq, which does not up the policy->rwsem.  This causes
the lockdep warning.

Trivial patch to up the policy->rwsem in the error path.

After the patch has been applied, and an error occurs in the
cpufreq_driver->get(policy->cpu) call we will now see

cpufreq: __cpufreq_add_dev: ->get() failed
cpufreq: __cpufreq_add_dev: ->get() failed
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'pcc_cpufreq': No such device

Fixes: 4e97b631f2 (cpufreq: Initialize governor for a new policy under policy->rwsem)
