Subject: [PATCH v3 1/6] cpufreq: Export acpu_cpufreq_exit for other drivers to call

Currently, the only way to load an alternative cpufreq driver is to unload
acpi-cpufreq first.

Loosen that restriction to allow other kernel modules to unregister a
registered driver.

Signed-off-by: Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello@....com>

v2->v3:
 * Move to include header
 * Create a new symbol to prevent NX protected page fault calling exit
   function from other modules.
v1->v2:
 * Export symbol instead of changing internals
