cpufreq: governor: Quit work-handlers early if governor is stopped

gov_queue_work() acquires cpufreq_governor_lock to allow
cpufreq_governor_stop() to drain delayed work items possibly scheduled
on CPUs that share the policy with a CPU being taken offline.

However, the same goal may be achieved in a more straightforward way if
the policy pointer in the struct cpu_dbs_info matching the policy CPU is
reset upfront by cpufreq_governor_stop() under the timer_mutex belonging
to it and checked against NULL, under the same lock, at the beginning of
dbs_timer().

In that case every instance of dbs_timer() run for a struct cpu_dbs_info
sharing the policy pointer in question after cpufreq_governor_stop() has
started will notice that that pointer is NULL and bail out immediately
without queuing up any new work items.  In turn, gov_cancel_work()
called by cpufreq_governor_stop() before destroying timer_mutex will
wait for all of the delayed work items currently running on the CPUs
sharing the policy to drop the mutex, so it may be destroyed safely.

Make cpufreq_governor_stop() and dbs_timer() work as described and
modify gov_queue_work() so it does not acquire cpufreq_governor_lock any
more.
