From: CHIKAMA masaki <masaki.chikama@xxxxxxxxx>

upstream commit: 879000f94442860e72c934f9e568989bc7fb8ec4

If cpu specific cpufreq driver(i.e. longrun) has "setpolicy" function,
governor object isn't set into cpufreq_policy object at "__cpufreq_set_policy"
function in driver/cpufreq/cpufreq.c .

This causes a null object access at "store_scaling_setspeed" and
"show_scaling_setspeed" function in driver/cpufreq/cpufreq.c when reading or
writing through /sys interface (ex. cat
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_setspeed)
