Subject: [PATCH v1] PM: EM: Decrement policy counter

From: Pierre Gondois <Pierre.Gondois@....com>

Fixes: e458716a92b57 ("PM: EM: Mark inefficiencies in CPUFreq")
In the above commit, cpufreq_cpu_get() is called without
a cpufreq_cpu_put(), permanently increasing the reference counts
of the policy struct.
Decrement the reference count once the policy struct is not used
anymore.
