Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: Fix get_cpu_device() failed in add_cpu_dev_symlink()

When I hot added a CPU, I found 'cpufreq' directory is not created below
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/. It is because get_cpu_device() failed in
add_cpu_dev_symlink().

cpufreq_add_dev() is the .add_dev callback of a CPU subsys interface. It
will be called when the CPU device registered into the system. The stack
is as follows.
  register_cpu()
  ->device_register()
   ->device_add()
    ->bus_probe_device()
     ->cpufreq_add_dev()

But only after the CPU device has been registered, we can get the CPU
device by get_cpu_device(), otherwise it will return NULL. Since we
already have the CPU device in cpufreq_add_dev(), pass it to
add_cpu_dev_symlink(). I noticed that the 'kobj' of the cpu device has
been added into the system before cpufreq_add_dev().
