cpufreq: Revert incorrect commit 5800043
Commit 5800043 (cpufreq: convert cpufreq_driver to using RCU) causes
the following call trace to be spit on boot:

which is quite obvious, because that commit put (multiple instances
of) sysfs_create_file() under rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock(),
although sysfs_create_file() may cause memory to be allocated with
GFP_KERNEL and that may sleep, which is not permitted in RCU read
critical section.
Revert the buggy commit altogether along with some changes on top
of it.
