These patches is based on the v4.13-rc6.
After merged ("PM / devfreq: fix duplicated kfree on devfreq pointer"),
this patch doesn't consider the free of memory when error case.
After applying this patch, this patch consider the error case
when jumping the err_dev statement with goto.
device_unregister(&devfreq->dev);
err_dev:
if (devfreq)
kfree(devfreq);
