From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx> The only case triggering a jump to the err_out_unregister label in __cpufreq_add_dev() is when cpufreq_add_dev_interface() fails. However, if cpufreq_add_dev_interface() fails, it calls kobject_put() for the policy kobject in its error code path and since that causes the kobject's refcount to become 0, the additional kobject_put() for the same kobject under err_out_unregister and the wait_for_completion() following it are pointless, so drop them.
