[PATCH 1/2] cpufreq: Reorder cpufreq_online() a bit

From: Viresh Kumar
Date: Thu Feb 22 2018 - 01:00:08 EST


Ideally the de-allocation of resources should happen in the exact
opposite order in which they were allocated. It helps maintain the code
in long term, even if nothing really breaks with incorrect ordering.

The same wasn't followed in cpufreq_online() and it has some
inconsistencies. For example, the symlinks were created from within the
locked region while they are removed only after putting the locks. Also
->exit() should have been called only after the symlinks are removed and
the lock is dropped, as that was the case when ->init() was first
called.
