[CPUFREQ] Fix use after free of struct powernow_k8_data
Easy fix for a regression introduced in 2.6.31. On managed CPUs the cpufreq.c core will call driver->exit(cpu) on the managed cpus and powernow_k8 will free the core's data. Later driver->get(cpu) function might get called trying to read out the current freq of a managed cpu and the NULL pointer check does not work on the freed object -> better set it to NULL. ->get() is unsigned and must return 0 as invalid frequency.
