Subject: [PATCHv2] cpufreq: fix overflow in cpufreq_table_find_index_dl()

'best' is always less or equals to 'pos', so `best - pos' returns
a negative value which is then getting casted to `unsigned int'
and passed to __cpufreq_driver_target()->acpi_cpufreq_target()
for policy->freq_table selection. This results in
