[PATCH] acpi-cpufreq.c: fix a memory leak in acpi_cpufreq_cpu_exit

[Pan Xinhui]

policy->cpu in acpi_cpufreq_cpu_init/exit is the same cpu in most cases.
However during cpu hotplug,
cpufreq core might nominate a new cpu for policy->cpu.

Thar will cause a memory leak in acpi_cpufreq_cpu_exit.
To avoid this issue, use field *driver_data* to keep the the pointer
of acpi_cpufreq_data.

Add field *cpu* in acpi_cpufreq_data to do some proper cleanup work.
