cpufreq: Retain only online cpus in managed_policy->cpus

cpufreq's handling of cpu online event can incorrectly initialize
managed_policy->cpus to include offline cpus. This causes cpufreq
governors to include offline cpus in their idle time computation, which
causes frequency to shoot up beyond normal levels (on systems where 2 or
more cpus need to be synchronized wrt frequency change).

This frequency shootup was not seen prior to commit 21111be8 which
changed idle time accounting for offline cpus. Prior to commit 21111be8,
idle time statistics for offline cpus would include their offline time
as well. Post commit 21111be8, offline time is not included in a cpu's
idle time statistics.

As a result, ondemand (or other cpufreq) governors would see unchanged
idle time for offline cpus, causing them to interpret those (offline)
cpus as 100% busy, which is wrong.

This patch fixes the issue by modifying cpufreq's hotplug handling to
retain only online cpus in managed_policy->cpus field. cpufreq governors
would then skip such offline cpus from idle time calculations.

cpufreq: Resolve CPUFREQ_NOTIFY issue

When the cpufreq_stat receives the frequency policy notification,
it checks if the frequency table and stats table are present for the cpu.
If both are present, it returns with -EBUSY error to the notification.
Due to this, none of the other registered modules receive this
notification.

If the stat table and sysfs nodes are already created, return 0 instead
of returning EBUSY error.
