When all CPUs of a policy are hot-unplugged, we EXIT the governor but don't mark policy->governor as NULL. This was done in order to keep last used governor's information intact in sysfs, while the CPUs are offline.
We also missed marking policy->governor as NULL while restoring the policy. Because of that, we call __cpufreq_governor(CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS) for an uninitialized policy. Which eventually returns -EBUSY. Fix this by setting policy->governor to NULL while restoring the policy.
