[PATCH v2 0/2] cpufreq/schedutil: Fix null pointer dereference in sugov_update_single_freq

[Wyes Karny <wyes.karny@amd.com>]

Currently, amd_pstate only uses `adjust_perf` and `target` callback
functions to get the frequency/effective utilization data from scaling
governors.  Schedutil generally avoids calling `target` and `fast_switch`
functions if `adjust_perf` function pointer is set for the driver. But in
some rare cases, schedutil tries to call `fast_switch` function even the
function pointer is not set. This happens when frequency invariance is
turned off.  When frequency invariance is turned off schedutil falls
back to `sugov_update_single_freq` which currently relies on the
`fast_switch` callback.

Currently, frequency invariance is turned off when any anomaly is
detected with aperf/mperf readings. Which triggers this problem.

Fix this by disabling `fast_switch_enabled` flag if `fast_switch`
callback is not set and removing `fast_switch_enabled` flag dependency
for adjust_perf callback.  But this will force schedutil to take a slower
path to update frequency.  Therefore to fix this add fast_switch
function on amd_pstate to take advantage of fast frequency update.
