[PATCH v2] cpufreq: Limit resolving a frequency to policy min/max

[Shivnandan Kumar]

Resolving a frequency to an efficient one should not transgress policy->max
(which can be set for thermal reason) and policy->min. Currently there is
possibility where scaling_cur_freq can exceed scaling_max_freq when
scaling_max_freq is inefficient frequency. Add additional check to ensure
that resolving a frequency will respect policy->min/max.

Changes in v2:
-rename function name from cpufreq_table_index_is_in_limits to cpufreq_is_in_limits
-remove redundant outer parenthesis in return statement
-Make comment single line
