Subject: cpufreq: Avoid false-positive WARN_ON()s in cpufreq_update_policy()

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

commit 742c87bf27d3b715820da6f8a81d6357adbf18f8 upstream.

CPU notifications from the firmware coming in when cpufreq is
suspended cause cpufreq_update_current_freq() to return 0 which
triggers the WARN_ON() in cpufreq_update_policy() for no reason.

Avoid that by checking cpufreq_suspended before calling
cpufreq_update_current_freq().

Fixes: c9d9c929e674 (cpufreq: Abort cpufreq_update_current_freq() for cpufreq_suspended set)
