Subject: ACPI / CPPC: Prevent cpc_desc_ptr points to the invalid data

From: Hoan Tran <hotran@apm.com>

commit 2324d15447a9db168b1f85e3feac635b1ff8edb8 upstream.

When CPPC fails to request a PCC channel, the CPC data is freed
and cpc_desc_ptr points to the invalid data.

Avoid this issue by moving the cpc_desc_ptr assignment after the PCC
channel request.
