[RFC] cpufreq: Make sure target freq is within limits

[Viresh Kumar]

Hi Rafael,

__cpufreq_driver_target() must not pass target frequency beyond the limits of
current policy.

Today most of cpufreq platform drivers are doing this check in their target
routines. Why not move it to __cpufreq_driver_target().

I wanted to get your opinion on this before making changes in all driver files.
That's why this is an RFC.
