store_freq function of devfreq userspace governor
executes further, even if error is returned from sscanf,
this will result in setting up wrong frequency value.

Add proper error check to bail out if any error is returned.

Looks good to me.

You can save this goto statement by moving this sscanf checking to
before taking the mutex.

Also, we could just use kstroul().
