Subject: [PATCH -v2] cpufreq: skip loading acpi_cpufreq after intel_pstate

If the hw support intel_pstate and acpi_cpufreq, intel_pstate will
get loaded first.

acpi_cpufreq_init will call acpi_cpufreq_early_init()
and that will allocate perf data and init those perf data in ACPI core,
(that will cover all cpus). But later it will free them as
cpufreq_register_driver(acpi_cpufreq) will fail as init_pstate is
already registered

Use cpufreq_get_current_driver() to check if we can skip the
acpi_cpufreq loading.

-v2: update changelog and separate second part to another patch, according
     to Viresh.
