[PATCH V2] cpufreq: create link to policy only for registered CPUs

If a cpufreq driver is registered very early in the boot stage (e.g.
registered from postcore_initcall()), then cpufreq core may generate
kernel warnings for it.

In this case, the CPUs are brought online, then the cpufreq driver is
registered, and then the CPU topology devices are registered. However,
by the time cpufreq_add_dev() gets called, the cpu device isn't stored
in the per-cpu variable (cpu_sys_devices,) which is read by
get_cpu_device().

So the cpufreq core fails to get device for the CPU, for which
cpufreq_add_dev() was called in the first place and we will hit a
WARN_ON(!cpu_dev).

Even if we reuse the 'dev' parameter passed to cpufreq_add_dev() to
avoid that warning, there might be other CPUs online that share the
policy with the cpu for which cpufreq_add_dev() is called. Eventually
get_cpu_device() will return NULL for them as well, and we will hit the
same WARN_ON() again.

In order to fix these issues, change cpufreq core to create links to the
policy for a cpu only when cpufreq_add_dev() is called for that CPU.

Reuse the 'real_cpus' mask to track that as well.

Note that cpufreq_remove_dev() already handles removal of the links for
individual CPUs and cpufreq_add_dev() has aligned with that now.
