Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: Initialize the governor again while restoring policy

When all CPUs of a policy are hot-unplugged, we EXIT the governor but
don't mark policy->governor as NULL. This was done in order to keep last
used governor's information intact in sysfs, while the CPUs are offline.

We also missed marking policy->governor as NULL while restoring the
policy. Because of that, we call __cpufreq_governor(CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS)
for an uninitialized policy. Which eventually returns -EBUSY.

Fix this by setting policy->governor to NULL while restoring the policy.
