[04/18] cpufreq: Manage fallback policies in a list

Policies manage a group of CPUs and tracking them on per-cpu basis isn't the
best approach for sure.

The obvious loss is the amount of memory consumed for keeping a per-cpu copy of
the same pointer. But the bigger problem is managing such a data structure as we
need to update it for all policy->cpus.

To make it simple, lets manage fallback CPUs in a list rather than a per-cpu
variable.

It will be same as the per-cpu approach which we are fed up of.

Okay, will see what can be done.

Because we wanted to mark the policy inactive. But as I have introduced another
field for that now, probably it can be fixed. Will check again on what
can be done.

Can you review the other patches so that they are reviewed once before sending
V2 here ?
