No. ret == 0 path is a "success path" only creating a symlink, and
therefore __cpufreq_remove_dev() will take care of calling the
cpufreq_cpu_put() to decrement the reference count :

static int __cpufreq_remove_dev(struct sys_device *sys_dev)
{
...

        if (unlikely(cpu != data->cpu)) {
                dprintk("removing link\n");
                cpumask_clear_cpu(cpu, data->cpus);
                spin_unlock_irqrestore(&cpufreq_driver_lock, flags);
                sysfs_remove_link(&sys_dev->kobj, "cpufreq");
                cpufreq_cpu_put(data);
                cpufreq_debug_enable_ratelimit();
                unlock_policy_rwsem_write(cpu);
                return 0;
        }

This is, at least, how I understand what is happening here.
