[PATCH] cpufreq_conservative: alternative initialise approach

Venki, author of cpufreq_ondemand, came up with a neater way to remove the
initialiser code from the main loop of my code and out to the point when the
governor is actually initialised.

Not only does it look but it also feels cleaner, plus its simpler to
understand.  It also saves a bunch of pointless conditional statements in the
main loop.
