It turns out that cpuidle_driver_state_disabled() can be called
before registering the cpufreq driver on some platforms, which
was not expected when it was introduced and which leads to a NULL
pointer dereference when trying to walk the CPUs associated with
the given cpuidle driver.
Fix the problem by making cpuidle_driver_state_disabled() check if
the driver's mask of CPUs associated with it is present and to set
CPUIDLE_FLAG_UNUSABLE for the given idle state in the driver's states
list if that is not the case to cause __cpuidle_register_device() to
set CPUIDLE_STATE_DISABLED_BY_DRIVER for that state for all cpuidle
devices registered by it later.

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.
