Subject: [PATCH 2/3] cpufreq: Panic if policy is active in cpufreq_policy_free()

With the new design in place, show/store callbacks check if the policy
is active or not before proceeding further and cpufreq_policy_free()
must be called after emptying policy->cpus mask, i.e. inactive policy.

Lets make sure we don't get a bug around this later and catch this early
by putting a BUG_ON() within cpufreq_policy_free().
