The policy return by cpufreq_cpu_get() should be released with
cpufreq_cpu_put() to balance the reference counter.
Add missing cpufreq_cpu_put() to fix this.

The part of the patch above is valid, but I don't think that the
policy reference counter can be dropped below, because that may allow
the policy to go away and this driver will be still using it, won't
it?
