cpufreq: ACPI: Prevent a warning when another frequency driver is loaded
The recent change to use platform devices to load ACPI PPC and PCC
drivers caused that a misleading warning is reported when a respective
module cannot be loaded because another CPU frequency driver is already
registered:
kernel: acpi-cpufreq: probe of acpi-cpufreq failed with error -17
Address it by changing the return code in acpi-cpufreq and pcc-cpufreq
for this case from -EEXIST to -ENODEV which silences the warning in
call_driver_probe().
The change has also a benefit for users of init_module() as this return
code is propagated out from the syscall. The previous -EEXIST code made
the callers, such as kmod, wrongly believe that the module was already
loaded instead of that it failed to load.
