Subject: [UPDATE][PATCH] platform/x86/intel-uncore-freq: Conditionally create attribute for read frequency

When the current uncore frequency can't be read, don't create attribute
"current_freq_khz" as any read will fail later. Some user space
applications like turbostat fail to continue with the failure. So, check
error during attribute creation.
