A module_get() never happened for this case and so maybe a
module_put() should never get called.

And since this is a per boot thing, there is perhaps no need of doing
these at driver register/unregister, I would rather do it at:
cpufreq_core_init() time itself and so we will never need to run
cpufreq_put_default_governor() and so can be removed.

And another thing I am not able to understand (despite you commenting
about that in the commit log) is what happens if the default governor
chosen is built as a module ?
