It's still broken after this patch though because the function should
use the cpu_data() of the target CPU and not of the CPU running the code.

The patch below should fix it.

Subject: [PATCH v1] cpufreq: intel_pstate: Fix hwp_get_cpu_scaling()

Commit b52aaeeadfac ("cpufreq: intel_pstate: Avoid SMP calls to get
cpu-type") introduced two issues into hwp_get_cpu_scaling(). First,
it made that function use the CPU type of the CPU running the code
even though the target CPU is passed as the argument to it and second,
it used smp_processor_id() for that even though hwp_get_cpu_scaling()
runs in preemptible context.

Fix both of these problems by simply passing "cpu" to cpu_data().
