From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Currently there is an unlikely case where cpufreq_cpu_get returns a
null policy and this will cause a null pointer dereference later on.
Fix this by adding a null check and adding an error return.
Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference null return")
Fixes: b43a7ffbf33b ("cpufreq: Notify all policy->cpus in cpufreq_notify_transition()")
