Kant Fan 876c6ab967 PM/devfreq: governor: Add a private governor_data for governor
commit 5fdded8448 upstream.

The member void *data in the structure devfreq can be overwrite
by governor_userspace. For example:
1. The device driver assigned the devfreq governor to simple_ondemand
by the function devfreq_add_device() and init the devfreq member
void *data to a pointer of a static structure devfreq_simple_ondemand_data
by the function devfreq_add_device().
2. The user changed the devfreq governor to userspace by the command
"echo userspace > /sys/class/devfreq/.../governor".
3. The governor userspace alloced a dynamic memory for the struct
userspace_data and assigend the member void *data of devfreq to
this memory by the function userspace_init().
4. The user changed the devfreq governor back to simple_ondemand
by the command "echo simple_ondemand > /sys/class/devfreq/.../governor".
5. The governor userspace exited and assigned the member void *data
in the structure devfreq to NULL by the function userspace_exit().
6. The governor simple_ondemand fetched the static information of
devfreq_simple_ondemand_data in the function
devfreq_simple_ondemand_func() but the member void *data of devfreq was
assigned to NULL by the function userspace_exit().
7. The information of upthreshold and downdifferential is lost
and the governor simple_ondemand can't work correctly.

The member void *data in the structure devfreq is designed for
a static pointer used in a governor and inited by the function
devfreq_add_device(). This patch add an element named governor_data
in the devfreq structure which can be used by a governor(E.g userspace)
who want to assign a private data to do some private things.
