When the devfreq driver and the governor driver are built as modules,
the call to devfreq_add_device() or governor_store() fails because the
governor driver is not loaded at the time the devfreq driver loads. The
devfreq driver has a build dependency on the governor but also should
have a runtime dependency. We need to make sure that the governor driver
is loaded before the devfreq driver.

This patch fixes this bug by adding a try_then_request_governor()
function. First tries to find the governor, and then, if it is not found,
it requests the module and tries again.

Fixes: 1b5c1be2c88e (PM / devfreq: map devfreq drivers to governor using name)

Changes in v5:
- Requested by MyungJoo and Chanwoo.
  - Fix returning without the lock acquired after request_module.
- Requested by Chanwoo.
  - In request governor function check if governor name is NULL or not.
  - Remove some unrelated changes (added/removed some blank lines).

Changes in v4:
- Kept "locked" devfreq_list from the return of find_devfreq_governor() to
  the unlock of governor_store(). Requested by MyungJoo Ham.

Changes in v3:
- Remove unneded change in dev_err message.
- Fix err returned value in case to not find the governor.

Changes in v2:
- Add a new function to request the module and call that function from
  devfreq_add_device and governor_store.

I was expecting see also this patch in the pull request you did but I didn't
see. Is because of will be merged as a fix in current cycle? or has been forgotten?
