Subject: [PATCH] [RFC] cpufreq: Avoid crash in resume on SMP without OPP

When resuming from s2ram on an SMP system without cpufreq operating
points (e.g. there's no "operating-points" property for the CPU node in
DT, or the platform doesn't use DT yet), the kernel crashes when
bringing CPU 1 online:

    Enabling non-boot CPUs ...
    CPU1: Booted secondary processor
    Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000003c
    pgd = ee5e6b00

Verify that policy is not NULL before dereferencing it to fix this.

Notes:
  - Is this the right fix?

  - Interestingly, the crash is the same as the one reported in
    http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=c81407fe573d8ac3c7150f5373475598c59197de
    ("cpufreq: cpufreq-dt: Restore default cpumask_setall(policy->cpus)"),
    but the cause is different.

  - The crash was initially observed on sh73a0/kzm9g-legacy, but it can
    easily be reproduced on e.g. r8a7791/koelsch, by removing the
    "operating-points" property from the cpu0 node in
    arch/arm/boot/dts/r8a7791.dtsi, or by any other means to make the
    call to dev_pm_opp_init_cpufreq_table() in
    drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq-dt.c:cpufreq_init() fail.

  - I did not add

	Fixes: 6e2c89d16d987e6e ("cpufreq: move call to __find_governor() to cpufreq_init_policy()")

    as I couldn't verify that the issue is also present in that (old)
    version (there have been too many s2ram-related platform and driver
    fixes since v3.15).
