amd-cppc on active mode bypasses the scaling governor layer, and
provides its own P-state selection algorithms in hardware. Consequently,
when it is used, the driver's -> setpolicy() callback is invoked
to register per-CPU utilization update callbacks, not the ->target()
callback.
So, only when cpufreq_driver.setpolicy is NULL, we need to deliberately
set old gov as NULL to trigger the according gov starting.
