[PATCH] cpufreq: powernow-k8: avoid use after free issue in cpufreq_notify_transition()

From: chenqiwu <chenqiwu@xxxxxxxxxx>

There is a potential UAF issue in cpufreq_notify_transition() that the
cpufreq of current cpu has been released before using it. So we should
make a judgement and avoid it.
