[PATCH v5] cpufreq/pasemi: fix an use-after-free in pas_cpufreq_cpu_init()

The cpu variable is still being used in the of_get_property() call
after the of_node_put() call, which may result in use-after-free.

v5: put together the code to get, use, and release cpu device_node.
v4: restore the blank line.
v3: fix a leaked reference.
v2: clean up the code according to the advice of viresh.
