BUGFIX for powernow-k8

Hi Dave, Paul,

Here is an important bugfix for powernow-k8.c in its current form (2.6.0-test9).

Problem description:
As the powernow-k8 driver uses the ->target and not the ->setpolicy callback, cpufreq_policy->policy is always zero. Checking for it in the powernow-k8 driver always returned "false". So we can easily remove this invalid check (and the #warning added to denote this).
