[24/93] CPUFREQ: Fix use after free of struct powernow_k8_data

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de>

commit 557a701c16553b0b691dbb64ef30361115a80f64 upstream.

Easy fix for a regression introduced in 2.6.31.

On managed CPUs the cpufreq.c core will call driver->exit(cpu) on the
managed cpus and powernow_k8 will free the core's data.

Later driver->get(cpu) function might get called trying to read out the
current freq of a managed cpu and the NULL pointer check does not work on
the freed object -> better set it to NULL.

->get() is unsigned and must return 0 as invalid frequency.
