cpufreq: convert cpufreq_driver to using RCU
We eventually would like to remove the rwlock cpufreq_driver_lock or convert it back to a spinlock and protect the read sections with RCU. The first step in that direction is to make cpufreq_driver use RCU. I don't see an easy wasy to protect the cpufreq_cpu_data structure with RCU, so I am leaving it with the rwlock for now since under certain configs __cpufreq_cpu_get is a hot spot with 256+ cores.
