3.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Aaron Plattner <aplatt...@nvidia.com>

commit fefa8ff810c5ab4c4206aed9d159c4d6fe8d4f1c upstream.

Commit bd0fa9bb455d introduced a failure path to cpufreq_update_policy() if
cpufreq_driver->get(cpu) returns NULL.  However, it jumps to the 'no_policy'
label, which exits without unlocking any of the locks the function acquired
earlier.  This causes later calls into cpufreq to hang.

Fix this by creating a new 'unlock' label and jumping to that instead.

Fixes: bd0fa9bb455d ("cpufreq: Return error if ->get() failed in 
cpufreq_update_policy()")
