    cpufreq: Fix get_cpu_device() failure in add_cpu_dev_symlink() · 2c1b5a84
    Xiongfeng Wang authored
    When I hot added a CPU, I found 'cpufreq' directory was not created
    below /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/.
    
    It is because get_cpu_device() failed in add_cpu_dev_symlink().
    
    cpufreq_add_dev() is the .add_dev callback of a CPU subsys interface.
    It will be called when the CPU device registered into the system.
    The call chain is as follows:
    
      register_cpu()
      ->device_register()
       ->device_add()
        ->bus_probe_device()
         ->cpufreq_add_dev()
    
    But only after the CPU device has been registered, we can get the
    CPU device by get_cpu_device(), otherwise it will return NULL.
    
    Since we already have the CPU device in cpufreq_add_dev(), pass
    it to add_cpu_dev_symlink().
    
    I noticed that the 'kobj' of the CPU device has been added into
    the system before cpufreq_add_dev().
