[PATCH] cpufreq: intel_pstate: Reporting reasons why driver prematurely exit

[Erwan Velu]

The init code path have several execeptions where the module can decide not to load.
As CONFIG_X86_INTEL_PSTATE is generally set to Y, the return code is not reachable.
The initialisation code is neither verbose of the reason why it did choose to prematurely exit.

This situation leads to situation where its difficult for a user to determine,
on a given platform, why the driver didn't loaded properly.

This patch is about reporting to the user the reason/context why the driver failed to load.
That is a precious hint when debugging a platform.
