Subject: [PATCH v2 2/5] PM / devfreq: Fix kernel warning with cpufreq passive register fail

When the cpufreq passive register path from the passive governor fails,
the cpufreq_passive_unregister is called and a kernel WARNING is always
reported.
This is caused by the fact that the devfreq driver already call the
governor unregister with the GOV_STOP, for this reason the second
cpufreq_passive_unregister always return error and a WARN is printed
from the WARN_ON function.
Remove the unregister call from the error handling of the cpufreq register
notifier as it's fundamentally wrong and already handled by the devfreq
core code.
