cpufreq: Fix sysfs deadlock with concurrent hotplug/frequency switch

Running one program that continuously hotplugs and replugs a cpu
concurrently with another program that continuously writes to the
scaling_set_speed node eventually deadlocks with:

=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
3.4.0 torvalds#37 Tainted: G        W
---------------------------------------------
filemonkey/122 is trying to acquire lock:
 (s_active#13){++++.+}, at: [<c01a3d28>] sysfs_remove_dir+0x9c/0xb4

but task is already holding lock:
 (s_active#13){++++.+}, at: [<c01a22f0>] sysfs_write_file+0xe8/0x140

other info that might help us debug this:
 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0
       ----
  lock(s_active#13);
  lock(s_active#13);

 *** DEADLOCK ***

 May be due to missing lock nesting notation

2 locks held by filemonkey/122:
 #0:  (&buffer->mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<c01a2230>] sysfs_write_file+0x28/0x140

This is because store() in cpufreq.c indirectly grabs a kobject
with kobject_get() and is the last one to call kobject_put()
indirectly via cpufreq_cpu_put().

Fix this deadlock by introducing two new functions,
cpufreq_cpu_get_sysfs() and cpufreq_cpu_put_sysfs() which do the
same thing as cpufreq_cpu_{get,put}() but don't grab the kobject.
