drivers/cpufreq/pcc-cpufreq.c: avoid NULL pointer dereference
per_cpu(processors, n) can be NULL, resulting in:
Loading CPUFreq modules[ 437.661360] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
IP: [<ffffffffa0434314>] pcc_cpufreq_cpu_init+0x74/0x220 [pcc_cpufreq]
It's better to avoid the oops by failing the driver, and allowing the
system to boot.
