When I hot added a CPU, I found 'cpufreq' directory was not created
below /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/.
It is because get_cpu_device() failed in add_cpu_dev_symlink().
cpufreq_add_dev() is the .add_dev callback of a CPU subsys interface.
It will be called when the CPU device registered into the system.
The call chain is as follows:
register_cpu()
->device_register()
->device_add()
->bus_probe_device()
->cpufreq_add_dev()
But only after the CPU device has been registered, we can get the
CPU device by get_cpu_device(), otherwise it will return NULL.
Since we already have the CPU device in cpufreq_add_dev(), pass
it to add_cpu_dev_symlink().
I noticed that the 'kobj' of the CPU device has been added into
the system before cpufreq_add_dev().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
