PM / devfreq: Fix kernel oops on governor module load
A bit unexpectedly (but still documented), request_module may return a positive value, in case of a modprobe error. This is currently causing issues in the devfreq framework. When a request_module exits with a positive value, we currently return that via ERR_PTR. However, because the value is positive, it's not a ERR_VALUE proper, and is therefore treated as a valid struct devfreq_governor pointer, leading to a kernel oops. Fix this by returning -EINVAL if request_module returns a positive value.
