cpufreq: Fix get_cpu_device() failure in add_cpu_dev_symlink()
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().
