[patch 2.6.30 2/4] CPUFREQ: fix (utter) cpufreq_add_dev mess

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

OK, I've tried to clean it up the best I could, but please test this with
concurrent cpu hotplug and cpufreq add/remove in loops. I'm sure we will make
other interesting findings.

This is step one of fixing the overall locking dependency mess in cpufreq.
