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.

PATCH v5 2/2 cpufreq: make interface functions and lock holding state clear

cpufreq_offline() calls offline() and exit() under the policy rwsem But they are called outside the rwsem in cpufreq_online().

This patch move the offline(), exit(), online(), init() to be inside of policy rwsem to achieve a clear lock relationship.

All the init() online() implement only initialize policy object without holding this lock and won't call cpufreq APIs need to hold this lock.
