Subject[PATCH] cpufreq: return EEXIST instead of EBUSY for second registering
Date
System that cpu support intel_pstate, acpi_cpufreq fail to
load, and udev keep trying until trace get filled up and
kernel crash.

The root cause is driver return ret from cpufreq_register_driver
and when some other driver take over before, it would return
EBUSY, then udev will keep trying...

cpufreq_register_driver should return EEXIST instead.
then system could boot without appending intel_pstate=disable
and still use intel_pstate.
