Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Cpufreq: Make governor data on nonboot cpus across system syspend/resume

Currently, governor of nonboot cpus will be put to EXIT when system syspend.
Since all these cpus will be unplugged and the governor usage_count decreases
to zero. The governor data and its sysfs interfaces will be freed or released.
This makes user config of these governors loss during suspend and resume.

This doesn't happen on the governor covering boot cpu because it isn't
unplugged during system suspend.

To fix this issue, skipping governor exit during system suspend and check
policy governor data to determine whether the governor is really needed
to be initialized when do init. If not, return EALREADY to indicate the
governor has been initialized and should do nothing. __cpufreq_governor()
convert EALREADY to 0 as return value for INIT event since governor is
still under INIT state and can do START operation.
