cpufreq: dt: always allocate zeroed cpumask
[ Upstream commit d2399501c2c081eac703ca9597ceb83c7875a537 ]
Commit 0499a78369ad ("ARM64: Dynamically allocate cpumasks and increase
supported CPUs to 512") changed the handling of cpumasks on ARM 64bit,
what resulted in the strange issues and warnings during cpufreq-dt
initialization on some big.LITTLE platforms.
This was caused by mixing OPPs between big and LITTLE cores, because
OPP-sharing information between big and LITTLE cores is computed on
cpumask, which in turn was not zeroed on allocation. Fix this by
switching to zalloc_cpumask_var() call.
Fixes: dc279ac6e5b4 ("cpufreq: dt: Refactor initialization to handle probe deferral properly")
