[CPUFREQ] Bail out of cpufreq_add_dev if the link for a managed CPU got created

Doing:
echo 0 >cpu1/online
echo 1 >cpu1/online

on a managed CPU will result in:

This bug slipped in by git commit:
150b06f7f223cfd0f808737a5243cceca8ea47fa

When splitting up cpufreq_add_dev, the whole cpufreq_add_dev function
is not left anymore, only cpufreq_add_dev_policy.
This patch should reconstruct the identical functionality again as it
was before the split.
