When decreasing frequency, requested_freq may be less than freq_target, So requested_freq minus freq_target may be negative, But reqested_freq's unit is unsigned int, then the negative result will be one larger interger which may be even higher than requested_freq.
This patch is to fix such issue. when result becomes negative, set requested_freq as the min value of policy.
