[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 1/2] power: fix pstate base frequency handling

Previous fix for base frequency handling in pstate mode introduced a
couple of issues:

- When base_frequency file does not exist, it simply bails out because
  of what appears to be accidental addition of FOPEN_OR_ERR_RET. This is
  incorrect, as absence of this file is not fatal and is in fact
  expected on kernel versions earlier than 5.3
- When base_frequency file does exist, it gets opened, but never gets
  closed, resulting in a resource leak

Both issues also manifest themselves as Coverity defects (dead code, and
a resource leak), so this fix addresses both.
