Subject: [PATCH 1/2] cpuidle: governors: Remove remaining old module code

The governor's code use try_module_get() and put_module() to refcount
the governor's module. But the governors are not compiled as module.

The refcount does not prevent to switch the governor or unload a module
as they aren't compiled as modules. So the code is pointless, removing
it.
