[PATCH V2 11/11] cpufreq: improve error checking on return values of __cpufreq_governor()

[Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@xxxxxxxxxx>]

__cpufreq_governor() function can fail in rare cases specially if there are bugs
in cpufreq driver. And so we must stop processing as soon as this routine fails,
otherwise it may result in undefined behavior.

And so this patch adds error checking code whenever this routine is called from
any place.
