Subject: cpufreq: Do not clear real_cpus mask on policy init

From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit f451014692ae34e587b00de6745e16661cf734d8 ]

If new_policy is set in cpufreq_online(), the policy object has just been created and its real_cpus mask has been zeroed on allocation, and the driver's ->init() callback should not touch it.

It doesn't need to be cleared again, so don't do that.
