__cpufreq_add_dev() can fail sometimes while we are resuming our system.
Currently we are clearing all sysfs nodes for cpufreq's failed policy as that
could make userspace unstable. But if we suspend/resume again, we should atleast
try to bring back those policies.

This patch fixes this issue by clearing fallback data on failure and trying to
allocate a new struct cpufreq_policy on second resume.

These are sent again (earlier sent as reply to emails), so that people can
give inputs if they have any.

Tested on my thinkpad T420.
