cpufreq: Validate frequency table in the core

By design, cpufreq drivers are responsible for calling
cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo() from their ->init()
callbacks to validate the frequency table.

However, if a cpufreq driver is buggy and fails to do so properly, it
lead to unexpected behavior of the driver or the cpufreq core at a
later point in time.  It would be better if the core could
validate the frequency table during driver initialization.

To that end, introduce cpufreq_table_validate_and_sort() and make
the cpufreq core call it right after invoking the ->init() callback
of the driver and destroy the cpufreq policy if the table is invalid.

For the time being the validation of the table happens twice, once
from the driver and then from the core.  The individual drivers will
be updated separately to drop table validation if they don't need it
for other reasons.

The frequency table is marked "sorted" or "unsorted" by the new helper
now instead of in cpufreq_table_validate_and_show(), as it should only
be done after validating the table (which the drivers won't do going
forward).
