[PATCH][RFC] cpufreq: Avoid warning during resume by return EAGAIN if cpufreq is unavailable

From: Chen Yu

Previously we saw warning during resume on some platforms,
which use acpi-cpufreq:

smpboot: Booting Node 0 Processor 3 APIC 0x5
cache: parent cpu3 should not be sleeping
CPU3 is up
ACPI: Waking up from system sleep state S3
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 12546 at drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c:2173
Call Trace:

[<ffffffff815c7ee2>] ret_from_fork+0x22/0x40
[<ffffffff81099ce0>] kthread_park+0x50/0x50

This is because this platforms tries to notify
the processor to reevaluate the _PPC object in _WAK,
however at that time the cpufreq driver's resume has
not been invoked yet, thus cpufreq_update_current_freq
returns zero because of cpufreq_suspended = true, which
caused the warning.

Actually it should be unnecessary to care the update request
at that moment, so remove the warning and change the return
value to -EAGAIN for invokers.
