The sysfs policy directory is postfixed currently with the CPU number
for which the policy was created, which isn't necessarily the first CPU
in related_cpus mask.

To make it more consistent and predictable, lets postfix the policy with
the first cpu in related-cpus mask.

V2->V3:
- Fix error path where we may try to put an uninitialized kobject.
- Break kobject_init_and_add() to kobject_init() and kobject_add().

Oh yeah, this works better. I forgot kobject has a separate init and add fuctions.

Another out of patch issue that I see while reviewing this patch:

I think the existing error handling gotos aren't really cleaning things up well.

In the lines that follow this code we set the per_cpu(cpufreq_cpu_data) to point to the new policy. But if the subsequent cpu->get() fails, we goto out_exit_policy. But that label doesn't clean up the per_cpu(cpufreq_cpu_data). So, I think we need another label to jump to if ->get() fails
