I don't see where this would be guaranteed. So I'd be fine with
a) adding it to
cpufreq.c/cpufreq_notify_transition/cpufreq_notify_transition

b) adding an item to the cpufreq_transition_notifier_list

c) adding it to cpufreq_stats.c/cpufreq_stat_notifier_trans

which would imply the usage of smp_call_function_single(...)
