[PATCH v3] cpufreq: brcmstb-avs: fix imbalance of cpufreq policy refcount

[qiwuchen55@gmail.com]

From: chenqiwu <chenqiwu@xiaomi.com>

brcm_avs_cpufreq_get() calls cpufreq_cpu_get() to get the cpufreq policy,
meanwhile, it also increments the kobject reference count to mark it busy.
However, a corresponding call of cpufreq_cpu_put() is ignored to decrement
the kobject reference count back, which may lead to a potential stuck risk
that the cpuhp thread deadly waits for dropping of kobject refcount when
cpufreq policy free.

For fixing this bug, cpufreq_get_policy() is referenced to do a proper
cpufreq_cpu_get()/cpufreq_cpu_put() and fill a policy copy for the user.
If the policy return NULL, we just return 0 to hit the code path of
cpufreq_driver->get.
