Diff is being slightly annoying in not quite showing enough context
to see that it is fine to release this at the end of scope.
What you have done looks correct to me but there is a further
potential cleanup

	for_each_cpu_wrap(ref_cpu, policy->cpus, cpu + 1) {
		if (ref_cpu == start_cpu) {
			/* Prevent verifying same CPU twice */
			ref_cpu = nr_cpu_ids;
			break;
//here, might as well return -EAGAIN as only thing in this block
//and now no advantage in sharing the exit path with the one that
//says we never matched the next condition.
		}
		if (!idle_cpu(ref_cpu))
			break;
		}

Either way I'm fine with this.
