Subject: [34-longterm 063/179] Remove cpufreq_stats sysfs entries on module unload.

From: Dave Jones <davej@...hat.com>

                   -------------------
    This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
    http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git
    If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
                   -------------------

commit 13f067537f34456443f61c950cd6dc37d1d5f3ee upstream.

cpufreq_stats leaves behind its sysfs entries, which causes a panic
when something stumbled across them.
(Discovered by unloading cpufreq_stats while powertop was loaded).
