cpufreq: interactive: Fix null pointer dereference in interactive governor

For the sync_freq feature currently we check pcpu->policy->cur frequency
for each online cpu.  But for a CPU that isn't using interactive governor
or for an offline CPU, pcpu->policy can be null or an invalid value.
This patch tries to avoid that scenario by using pcpu->target_freq
instead of policy->cur to get the frequency of an online CPU.

Kernel crash without this patch:
