Subject: [PATCH v5 1/2] cpufreq: Abort show/store for half initialized policy

If policy initialization fails after the sysfs files are created,
there is a possibility that we may end up running show()/store()
callbacks for half initialized policies, which may have unpredictable
outcomes.

Abort show/store in such a case by making sure the policy is active.
Also inactivate the policy on such failures.

Changelog:
v1 -> v2:
        - Fix bad critical region enlarge which causes uninitialized
          unlock.
        - Move cpumask_clear(policy->cpus); before out_offline_policy
v2 -> v3:
        - Remove the missed down_write() before
          cpumask_and(policy->cpus, policy->cpus, cpu_online_mask);
v3 -> v4:
        - Seprate to two patchs.
        - Add policy_is_inactive check before sysfs access
v4 -> v5:
        - Change the commit message as Viresh advised.
        - Initialize ret to -EBUSY to get rid of the else part.
