When the devfreq_add_device fails to register deivce, the memory leak of devfreq instance happen. So, this patch fix the memory leak issue. Before freeing the devfreq instance checks whether devfreq instance is NULL or not because the device_unregister() frees the devfreq instance when jumping to the 'err_init'. It is to prevent the duplicate the kfee(devfreq).
