Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: Skip all governor-related actions for cpufreq_suspended set

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

Since governor operations are generally skipped if cpufreq_suspended
is set, do nothing at all in cpufreq_start_governor() and
cpufreq_exit_governor() in that case.

In particular, this prevents fast frequency switching from being
disabled after a suspend-to-RAM cycle on all CPUs except for the
boot one.

Fixes: b7898fda5bc7 (cpufreq: Support for fast frequency switching)
