Subject: [PATCH 2/7] cpufreq: Init policy->rwsem before it may be possibly used

In cpufreq_policy_put_kobj(), policy->rwsem is used. But in
cpufreq_policy_alloc(), if freq_qos_add_notifier() returns an error, error
path via err_kobj_remove or err_min_qos_notifier will be reached and
cpufreq_policy_put_kobj() will be called before policy->rwsem is
initialized. Thus, the calling of init_rwsem() should be moved to where
before these two error paths can be reached.
