[PATCH 4.2 242/258] cpufreq: acpi_cpufreq: prevent crash on reading freqdomain_cpus

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Srinivas Pandruvada <srinivas.pandruvada@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit e25303676e18a7947185a34e26dd08cf0c0ea573 upstream.

When freqdomain_cpus attribute is read from an offlined cpu, it will
cause crash. This change prevents calling cpufreq_show_cpus when
policy driver_data is NULL.
