[RFC][PATCH] cpufreq: intel_pstate: Delete intel_pstate sysfs if failed to register the driver

[Chen Yu <yu.c.chen@intel.com>]

There is a corner case that if the intel_pstate driver failed to be
registered(might be due to invalid MSR access) and with the acpi_cpufreq
loaded, the intel_pstate sysfs might still be created, which makes the
user confusing(turbostat for example):

grep . /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_driver
acpi-cpufreq

grep . /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/*
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/max_perf_pct:0
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/min_perf_pct:0
grep: /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo: Resource temporarily unavailable
grep: /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/num_pstates: Resource temporarily unavailable
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/status:off
grep: /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/turbo_pct: Resource temporarily unavailable

The existing of intel_pstate sysfs does not mean that the intel_pstate driver
has been successfully loaded(for example, echo off to status), but the
intel_pstate sysfs should not co-exist when acpi-cpufreq is also present.
Fix this issue by deleting the intel_pstate sysfs if the driver failed
to be loaded during bootup.
