Please try not using cpupower or any other utility.
Please try using the primitive commands directly.
For example:
To see what you are currently using:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy*/scaling_governor
To see what is available:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy*/scaling_available_governors
To set a new governor (as su):
for file in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy*/scaling_governor; do echo "schedutil" > $file; done
Then check by using the first command again.
Example from my computer with a stock kernel 4.8-rc3:
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy*/scaling_governor
ondemand
ondemand
ondemand
ondemand

$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy*/scaling_available_governors
ondemand performance

In my case several of governors are modules and so do not
appear in the list, even though they actually are available.
$ sudo su
# for file in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy*/scaling_governor; do echo "schedutil" > $file; done
# exit
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy*/scaling_governor
schedutil
schedutil
schedutil
schedutil
schedutil
schedutil
schedutil
schedutil
Since the schedutil module has now been loaded, it now appears in the list:
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy*/scaling_available_governors
schedutil ondemand performance
schedutil ondemand performance
schedutil ondemand performance
schedutil ondemand performance
schedutil ondemand performance
