Subject: [PATCH] thermal: cpu_cooling: fix handling of invalid frequency table entries

get_cpu_frequency() goes into an infinite loop if any of the entries
in the CPU frequency table are invalid.  This patch fixes that case
and, with a separate counter for frequency levels, ensures that the
n-th valid frequency level is returned.
