[PATCH] cpufreq: Ref the policy object sooner

[Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org>]

From: Tomeu Vizoso <tomeu.vizoso@collabora.com>

Upstream commit id: 6d4e81ed89c0

Do it before it's assigned to cpufreq_cpu_data, otherwise when a driver
tries to get the cpu frequency during initialization the policy kobj is
referenced and we get this warning:
