Subject: [PATCH] PM / devfreq: Lock devfreq in trans_stat_show

There is no locking in this sysfs show function so stats printing can
race with a devfreq_update_status called as part of freq switching or
with initialization.

Also add an assert in devfreq_update_status to make it clear that lock
must be held by caller.
