From: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@xxxxxxxxxx> "cpufreq" directory in policy->cpu is never created using sysfs_create_link(), but using kobject_init_and_add(). And so we shouldn't call sysfs_remove_link() for policy->cpu(). sysfs stuff for policy->cpu is automatically removed when we call kobject_put() for dying policy.
