    cpufreq: check if policy is inactive early in __cpufreq_get() · 085d2651

    cpuinfo_cur_freq gets current CPU frequency as detected by hardware
    while scaling_cur_freq last known CPU frequency. Some platforms may not
    allow checking the CPU frequency of an offline CPU or the associated
    resources may have been released via cpufreq_exit when the CPU gets
    offlined, in which case the policy would have been invalidated already.
    If we attempt to get current frequency from the hardware, it may result
    in hang or crash.
    
    For example on Juno, I see:
    
    Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000188
    [0000000000000188] pgd=0000000000000000

    So fix the issue by checking if the policy is invalid early in
    __cpufreq_get before attempting to get the current frequency.
