cpufreq: powernv: Fix use-after-free
The cpufreq driver has a use-after-free that we can hit if: a) There's an OCC message pending when the notifier is registered, and b) The cpufreq driver fails to register with the core. When a) occurs the notifier schedules a workqueue item to handle the message. The backing work_struct is located on chips[].throttle and when b) happens we clean up by freeing the array. Once we get to the (now free) queued item and the kernel crashes.
