Subject: [PATCH 2/5] cpufreq: governor: Check transition latecy at init time only

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

It is not necessary to check the governor's max_transition_latency
attribute every time cpufreq_governor() runs, so check it only if
the event argument is CPUFREQ_GOV_POLICY_INIT.
