Subject: [PATCH] acpi-cpufreq: Skip cleanup if initialization didn't occur

From: Kyle Meyer <kyle.meyer@....com>

acpi-cpufreq is loaded without performing initialization when a cpufreq
driver exists.

If initialization didn't occur then skip cleanup in acpi_cpufreq_exit().
This prevents unnecessary freeing and unregistering when the module is
unloaded.
