Scheduled policy update work may end up racing with the freeing of the
policy and unregistering the driver.

One possible race is as below, where the cpufreq_driver is unregistered,
but the scheduled work gets executed at later stage when, cpufreq_driver
is NULL (i.e. after freeing the policy and driver).

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000001c
