[PATCH] PM / devfreq: Return -ENODEV from try_then_request_governor

[Tomeu Vizoso]

Callers don't expect it to return NULL, but an error code.

Fixes Oops such as the one below, when one tries to set a governor that
isn't available:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000018
