cpufreq: Fix NULL reference crash while accessing policy->governor_data

Browse Source 
There is a race discovered by Juri, where we are able to:
- create and read a sysfs file before policy->governor_data is being set
  to a non NULL value.
  OR
- set policy->governor_data to NULL, and reading a file before being
  destroyed.

And so such a crash is reported:

Fix that by making sure, policy->governor_data is updated at the right
places only.
