[PATCH V3 02/16] cpufreq: stats: return -EEXIST when stats are already allocated

[Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org>]

__cpufreq_stats_create_table() is called from:

- cpufreq notifier on creation of a new policy. Stats will always be NULL here.
- cpufreq_stats_init() for all CPUs as cpufreq-stats might have been initialized
  after cpufreq driver. For any policy, 'stats' will be NULL for the first cpu
  only and will be valid for all other CPUs managed by the same policy.

While we return for other CPUs, we don't return the right error value. Its not
that we would fail with -EBUSY. But generally, this is what these return values
mean:
- EBUSY: we are busy right now, try again. And the retry attempt might be
  immediate.
- EEXIST: We already have what you are trying to create and there is no need to
  create it again, and so no more tries are required.
