Subject[PATCH] Bug fix for acpi-cpufreq and cpufreq_stats oops on frequency change notification

Fixes the oops in cpufreq_stats with acpi_cpufreq driver.
The issue was that the frequency was reported as 0 in acpi-cpufreq.c.
The bug is due to different indicies for freq_table and ACPI perf table.

Also adds a check in cpufreq_stats to check for error return from
freq_table_get_index() and avoid using the error return value.

Patch fixes the issue reported at
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0611.2/0629.html
and also other similar issue here
