Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: fix double unlock when cpufreq online

The patch f346e96267cd: ("cpufreq: Fix possible race in cpufreq online
error path") expand the critical region. But policy->rwsem is not held when
calling cpufreq_driver->online and cpufreq_driver->init calls, which lead to bad
unlock.

And it's well to hold this lock when calling cpufreq_driver->online, which
provide more protects without bad influence.

Fixes: f346e96267cd: ("cpufreq: Fix possible race in cpufreq online error path")
