The powernow-k8 driver maintains a per-cpu data-structure called powernow_data
that is used to perform the frequency transitions. It initializes this data-
structure only for the policy->cpu. So, accesses to this data-structure by
other CPUs results in various problems because they would have been
uninitialized.

Specifically, if a cpu (!= policy->cpu) invokes the drivers' ->get() function,
it returns 0 as the KHz value, since its per-cpu memory doesn't point to
anything valid. This causes problems during suspend/resume since
cpufreq_update_policy() tries to enforce this (0 KHz) as the current frequency
of the CPU, and this madness gets propagated to adjust_jiffies() as well.
Eventually, lots of things start breaking down, including the r8169 ethernet
card, in one particularly interesting case reported by Pierre Ossman.

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70311

Fix this by initializing the per-cpu data-structures of _all_ the CPUs
in the policy appropriately.
