[PATCH] /drivers/powercap/dtpm_cpu.c： fix policy reference leak in cpuhp_dtpm_cpu_online()

In line 186(#1), 'policy = cpufreq_cpu_get(cpu)' will increase the kobject
reference counter of the policy. The policy has to be released with the
help of 'cpufreq_cpu_put()' to balance its kobject reference counter
properly. However, the function returns without dropping the reference
(#2,#3,#4,#5 and #6). It may result in a reference leak bug.

It can be fixed by calling the function 'cpufreq_cpu_put()' before the
function returns.

178 static int cpuhp_dtpm_cpu_online(unsigned int cpu)
179 {
...
186         policy = cpufreq_cpu_get(cpu);
	      //#1 reference increase
...
191         if (!pd)
192                 return -EINVAL;
	      //#2 function returns without decrementing reference counter
193
194         dtpm_cpu = per_cpu(dtpm_per_cpu, cpu);
195         if (dtpm_cpu)
196                 return dtpm_update_power(&dtpm_cpu->dtpm);
	      //#3 function returns without decrementing reference counter
197
198         dtpm_cpu = kzalloc(sizeof(*dtpm_cpu), GFP_KERNEL);
199         if (!dtpm_cpu)
200                 return -ENOMEM;
	      //#4 function returns without decrementing reference counter
...
220         return 0;
	      //#5 function returns without decrementing reference counter
...
226 out_kfree_dtpm_cpu:
...
231         return ret;
	      //#6 function returns without decrementing reference counter
232 }
