Switching cpufreq drivers (or switching operation modes of the intel_pstate driver from "active" to "passive" and vice versa) does not work on some x86 systems with ACPI after commit3000ce3c52("cpufreq: Use per-policy frequency QoS"), because the ACPI _PPC and thermal code uses the same frequency QoS request object for a given CPU every time a cpufreq driver is registered and freq_qos_remove_request() does not invalidate the request after removing it from its QoS list, so freq_qos_add_request() complains and fails when that request is passed to it again. Fix the issue by modifying freq_qos_remove_request() to clear the qos and type fields of the frequency request pointed to by its argument after removing it from its QoS list so as to invalidate it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
