cpufreq: intel_pstate: Fix crash during turbo disable

Browse source 
commit 6b050482ec upstream.

When the system is booted with kernel command line argument "nosmt" or
"maxcpus" to limit the number of CPUs, disabling turbo via:

 echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo

results in a crash:

 PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
 PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page
 PGD 0 P4D 0
 Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
 ...
 RIP: 0010:store_no_turbo+0x100/0x1f0
 ...

This occurs because for_each_possible_cpu() returns CPUs even if they
are not online. For those CPUs, all_cpu_data[] will be NULL. Since
commit 973207ae3d ("cpufreq: intel_pstate: Rearrange max frequency
updates handling code"), all_cpu_data[] is dereferenced even for CPUs
which are not online, causing the NULL pointer dereference.

To fix that, pass CPU number to intel_pstate_update_max_freq() and use
all_cpu_data[] for those CPUs for which there is a valid cpufreq policy.
