Subject: [PATCH] devfreq: add error check for sscanf in userspace governor

What this patch does:

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

This patch adds proper error check to bail out if
any error is returned.

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.

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

Also, we could just use kstroul().
