Subject[PATCH 2/2] cpufreq: Guard against not-yet-initialized policies in cpufreq_cpu_get
Date
There's a substantial window of opportunity from the time the policy objects
are created until they are initialized, causing this:

This commit checks that the policy object has been initialized already before
trying to ref it.
