cpufreq: Fix up conversion to hotplug state machine

The function cpufreq_register_driver() returns zero on success and since
commit 27622b06 ("cpufreq: Convert to hotplug state machine")
erroneously a positive number. Due to the "if (x) assume_error" construct
all callers assumed an error and as a consequence the cpu freq kworker
crashes with a NULL pointer dereference.

Reset the return value back to zero in the success case.

Fixes: 27622b06
