[CPUFREQ] fix a lockdep warning 

There is no need to do sysfs_remove_link() or kobject_put() etc.
when policy_rwsem_write is held, move them after releasing the lock.

This fixes the lockdep warning:

halt/4071 is trying to acquire lock:
 (s_active){++++.+}, at: [<c0000000001ef868>] .sysfs_addrm_finish+0x58/0xc0

but task is already holding lock:
 (&per_cpu(cpu_policy_rwsem, cpu)){+.+.+.}, at: [<c0000000004cd6ac>] .lock_policy_rwsem_write+0x84/0xf4
