cpufreq: Initialize governor for a new policy under policy->rwsem

Browse Source 
policy->rwsem is used to lock access to all parts of code modifying
struct cpufreq_policy, but it's not used on a new policy created by
__cpufreq_add_dev().

Because of that, if cpufreq_update_policy() is called in a tight loop
on one CPU in parallel with offline/online of another CPU, then the
following crash can be triggered:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000020
pgd = c0003000
[00000020] *pgd=80000000004003, *pmd=00000000
Internal error: Oops: 206 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM

PC is at __cpufreq_governor+0x10/0x1ac
LR is at cpufreq_update_policy+0x114/0x150

Fix that by taking locks at appropriate places in __cpufreq_add_dev()
as well.
