[V2,4/5] cpufreq: create cpu/cpufreq/policyX directories

The cpufreq sysfs interface had been a bit inconsistent as one of the
CPUs for a policy had a real directory within its sysfs 'cpuX' directory
and all other CPUs had links to it. That also made the code a bit
complex as we need to take care of moving the sysfs directory if the CPU
containing the real directory is getting physically hot-unplugged.

Solve this by creating 'policyX' directories (per-policy) in
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ directory, where X is the CPU for which
the policy was first created.

This also removes the need of keeping kobj_cpu and we can remove it now.

Since you've added a separate patch for making policyX more consistent:
Reviewed-by: Saravana Kannan <skannan@codeaurora.org>

Btw, does a Review-by have an implicit Acked-by?

Kinda unrelated to this patch, but shouldn't this function undo the 
symlinks is has created so far before returning? Otherwise, we'd be 
leaving around broken symlinks.

Yes it does, at least as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks,

I have attended a session at Linaro Connect where this was discussed
and the answer was:

Acked-by: is more of a general agreement from the person that he is
fine with the patch, but he might not have done a very careful review
and he isn't really responsible for the patch's content.

Reviewed-by: is a more strict tag and implies that the reviewer has
reviewed it at his best and he is as much responsible for the content
of the patch as the author.

Hmm, yeah. Will fix it separately.
