Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: Make cpufreq_online() call driver->offline() on errors

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@...el.com>

In the CPU removal path the ->offline() callback provided by the
driver is always invoked before ->exit(), but in the cpufreq_online()
error path it is not, so ->exit() is somehow expected to know the
context in which it has been called and act accordingly.

That is less than straightforward, so make cpufreq_online() invoke
the driver's ->offline() callback before ->exit() too.

This only potentially affects intel_pstate at this point.

Fixes: 91a12e91dc39 ("cpufreq: Allow light-weight tear down and bring up of CPUs")
