commit 9e4e249018d208678888bdf22f6b652728106528 upstream.
Since acpi_processor_notify() can be called before registering a cpufreq driver or even in cases when a cpufreq driver is not registered at all, cpufreq_update_limits() needs to check if a cpufreq driver is present and prevent it from being unregistered.
For this purpose, make it call cpufreq_cpu_get() to obtain a cpufreq policy pointer for the given CPU and reference count the corresponding policy object, if present.
