cpufreq: Fix up conversion to hotplug state machine
The function cpufreq_register_driver() returns zero on success and since commit 27622b061eb4 ("cpufreq: Convert to hotplug state machine") erroneously a positive number. Due to the "if (x) assume_error" construct all callers assumed an error and as a consequence the cpu freq kworker crashes with a NULL pointer dereference. Reset the return value back to zero in the success case.
