[PATCH v4]PM: QoS: Add check to make sure CPU freq is non-negative

[Shivnandan Kumar]

	CPU frequency should never be negative.
	If some client driver calls freq_qos_update_request with
	negative value which will be very high in absolute terms,
	then qos driver sets max CPU freq at fmax as it considers
	it's absolute value but it will add plist node with negative
	priority. plist node has priority from INT_MIN (highest)
	to INT_MAX(lowest). Once priority is set as negative,
	another client will not be able to reduce CPU frequency.
	Adding check to make sure CPU freq is non-negative will
	fix this problem.

Applied as 5.20 material, thanks!
