At few places in cpufreq_set_policy() either we aren't checking return errors of __cpufreq_governor() or aren't returning them as is to the callers. This sometimes propagates wrong errors to sysfs OR we try to do more operations even if we have failed.
Now that we return -EBUSY from __cpufreq_governor() on invalid requests, there are more chances of hitting these errors. Lets fix them by checking and returning errors properly.
