cpufreq: governor: Use kobject release() method to free dbs_data

The struct dbs_data embeds a struct gov_attr_set and
the struct gov_attr_set embeds a kobject. Since every kobject must have
a release() method and we can't use kfree() to free it directly,
so introduce cpufreq_dbs_data_release() to release the dbs_data via
the kobject::release() method. This fixes the calltrace like below:

[ rjw: Because can be freed by the gov_attr_set_put() in
cpufreq_dbs_governor_exit() now, it is also necessary to put the
invocation of the governor ->exit() callback into the new
cpufreq_dbs_data_release() function. ]
