x86, acpi_cpufreq: Fix the NULL pointer dereference in get_measured_perf
Fix for a regression that was introduced by earlier commit 18b2646fe3babeb40b34a0c1751e0bf5adfdc64c on Mon Apr 6 11:26:08 2009 Regression resulted in the below error happened on systems with software coordination where per_cpu acpi data will not be initiated for secondary CPUs in a P-state domain.
