[patch 3/4 MKII] cpufreq_conservative: make for_each_cpu() safe

[Alexander Clouter <alex@digriz.org.uk>]

All these changes should make cpufreq_conservative safe in regards to the x86
for_each_cpu cpumask.h changes and whatnot.

Whilst making it safe a number of pointless for loops related to the cpu 
mask's were removed.  I was never comfortable with all those for loops,
especially as the iteration is over the same data again and again for each
CPU you had in a single poll, an O(n^2) outcome to frequency scaling.

The approach I use is to assume by default no CPU's exist and it sets the 
requested_freq to zero as a kind of flag, the reasoning is in the source ;) 
If the CPU is queried and requested_freq is zero then it initialises the 
variable to current_freq and then continues as if nothing happened which 
should be the same net effect as before?
