Subject: [PATCH 1/7] cpufreq: Don't remove sysfs link for policy->cpu

From: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@...aro.org>

"cpufreq" directory in policy->cpu is never created using sysfs_create_link(),
but using kobject_init_and_add(). And so we shouldn't call sysfs_remove_link()
for policy->cpu(). sysfs stuff for policy->cpu is automatically removed when we
call kobject_put() for dying policy.
