[PATCH] cpufreq: Clarify the comment in cpufreq_set_policy()

[Viresh Kumar]

One of the responsibility of the ->verify() callback is to make sure
that the policy's min frequency is <= max frequency as this isn't
guaranteed by the QoS framework which gave us those values.

Update the comment in cpufreq_set_policy() to clarify that.
