[PATCH] PM / devfreq: try_then_request_governor should not return NULL

From: Rob Clark <robdclark@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

The two spots it is called expect either an IS_ERR() or a valid pointer,
but not NULL.

Fixes this crash that I came across:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000030
Mem abort info:
ESR = 0x96000005
Exception class = DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits
SET = 0, FnV = 0
EA = 0, S1PTW = 0
Data abort info:
ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000005
CM = 0, WnR = 0
[0000000000000030] user address but active_mm is swapper
