The output continues on every do_dbs_timer ondemand freq checking poll.
This regression was introduced by git commit:
3f4a782b5ce2698b1870b5a7b573cd721d4fce33

The policy is released when the cpufreq device is removed in:
__cpufreq_remove_dev():
/* if this isn't the CPU which is the parent of the kobj, we
* only need to unlink, put and exit
*/

Not creating the symlink is not sever at all.
As long as:
sysfs_remove_link(&sys_dev->kobj, "cpufreq");
handles it gracefully that the symlink did not exist.
Possibly no error should be returned at all, because ondemand
governor would still provide the same functionality.
Userspace in userspace gov case might be confused if the link
is missing.

OK, I've tried to clean it up the best I could, but please test this with
concurrent cpu hotplug and cpufreq add/remove in loops. I'm sure we will make
other interesting findings.

This is step one of fixing the overall locking dependency mess in cpufreq.
