Replace the manual cpufreq_cpu_put() with __free(put_cpufreq_policy)
annotation for policy references. This reduces the risk of reference
counting mistakes and aligns the code with the latest kernel style.

No functional change intended.

Based on the guidance, in include/linux/cleanup.h, I would expect the
assignment to be done on this line.

"...the recommendation is to always define and assign variables in one
  * statement and not group variable definitions at the top of the
  * function when __free() is used."

The reason I split the assignment into multiple lines is because
scripts/checkpatch.pl gave a warning about the line being too long.

But if you think a single-line assignment is better, I will modify it
accordingly.
My preference, for what it's worth, would be to keep it one statement
and split the line after the =.


Okay,  I will update it that way. Thanks.
