[PATCH V3] cpufreq: Warn users while freeing active policy

[Viresh Kumar]

With the new design in place, the show() and store() callbacks check if
the policy is active or not before proceeding any further to avoid
potential races. And in order to guarantee that cpufreq_policy_free()
must be called after clearing the policy->cpus mask, i.e. by marking the
policy inactive.

In order to avoid introducing a bug around this later, print a warning
message if we end up freeing an active policy.

Also update cpufreq_online() a bit to make sure we clear the cpus mask
for each error case before calling cpufreq_policy_free().
