With the new design in place, the show() and store() callbacks check if the policy is active or not before proceeding any further to avoid potential races. And in order to guarantee that cpufreq_policy_free() must be called after clearing the policy->cpus mask, i.e. by marking the policy inactive. In order to avoid introducing a bug around this later, print a warning message if we end up freeing an active policy. Also update cpufreq_online() a bit to make sure we clear the cpus mask for each error case before calling cpufreq_policy_free().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
