…resource free

This patch modify devfreq_remove_device() to improve the sequence of resource
free. If executing existing devfreq_remove_device(), this function always
executes _remove_devfreq() twice. In result, second _remove_devfreq() always
return error value. So, This patch resolves complicated function sequence
as following:

[Flow sequence before modification]
devfreq_remove_device()
   _remove_devfreq(devfreq, false)
      kfree(devfreq);  /* Free devfreq */
      if (!skip ...) { /* skip is false */
         device_unregister(&devfreq->dev)
         put_device(&devfreq->dev);
            ...
            dev->release()
               devfreq_dev_release()
                  _remove_devfreq(devfreq, true) <- Recall to free devfreq
                  /*
		   * Always return error without freeing resource because
		   * already _remove_devfreq() frees the memory of devfreq.
		   */
   }

[Flow sequence after modification]
devfreq_remove_device
   device_unregister(&devfreq->dev)
   put_device(&devfreq->dev);
      ..
      dev->release()
         devfreq_dev_release()
            _remove_devfreq()
               kfree(devfreq); /* Free devfreq */
