[PATCH v1 01/10] cpufreq: Reference count policy in cpufreq_update_limits()

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>

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.

Fixes: 5a25e3f7cc53 ("cpufreq: intel_pstate: Driver-specific handling of _PPC updates")
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-acpi/Z-ShAR59cTow0KcR@mail-itl
