cpufreq: fix obvious condition statement error

The function __cpufreq_set_policy in file drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c
has a very obvious error:

        if (policy->min > data->min && policy->min > policy->max) {
                ret = -EINVAL;
                goto error_out;
        }

This condtion statement is wrong because it returns -EINVAL only if
policy->min is greater than policy->max (in this case,
"policy->min > data->min" is true for ever.). In fact, it should
return -EINVAL as well if policy->max is less than data->min.

The correct condition should be:

	if (policy->min > data->max || policy->max < data->min) {

The following test result testifies the above conclusion:
