cpufreq: send new set of notification for transition failures
In the current code, if we fail during a frequency transition, we
simply send the POSTCHANGE notification with the old frequency. This
isn't enough.
One of the core users of these notifications is the code responsible
for keeping loops_per_jiffy aligned with frequency changes. And mostly
it is written as:
So, suppose we are changing to a higher frequency and failed during
transition, then following will happen:
- CPUFREQ_PRECHANGE notification with freq-new > freq-old
- CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notification with freq-new == freq-old
The first one will update loops_per_jiffy and second one will do
nothing. Even if we send the 2nd notification by exchanging values of
freq-new and old, some users of these notifications might get
unstable.
This can be fixed by simply calling cpufreq_notify_post_transition()
with error code and this routine will take care of sending
notifications in the correct order.
