Actually, I considered the some corner case as following:
We can see the simple_ondemand governor through available_governors
even if the devfreq driver doesn't implement the .get_dev_status.
In this corner case, My intention tried to prevent the error
on this case. But, actually, it is different issue. I'll fix
this issue when get_dev_status is NULL, don't show the
simple_ondemand governor name through available_governors
on other patch.

And I applied it. Thanks.
