Subject: thermal: cpu_cooling: fix out of bounds access in time_in_idle

From: Javi Merino <javi.merino@arm.com>

commit a53b8394ec3c67255928df6ee9cc99dd1cd452e3 upstream.

In __cpufreq_cooling_register() we allocate the arrays for time_in_idle
and time_in_idle_timestamp to be as big as the number of cpus in this
cpufreq device.  However, in get_load() we access this array using the
cpu number as index, which can result in an out of bound access.

Index time_in_idle{,_timestamp} using the index in the cpufreq_device's
allowed_cpus mask, as we do for the load_cpu array in
cpufreq_get_requested_power()
