[CPUFREQ] powernow-k8: ignore out-of-range PstateStatus value

A workaround for AMD CPU family 11h erratum 311 might cause that the
P-state Status Register shows a "current P-state" which is larger than
the "current P-state limit" in P-state Current Limit Register. For the
wrong P-state value there is no ACPI _PSS object defined and
powernow-k8/cpufreq can't determine the proper CPU frequency for that
state.

As a consequence this can cause a panic during boot (potentially with
all recent kernel versions -- at least I have reproduced it with
various 2.6.27 kernels and with the current .28 series), as an
example:

powernow-k8:    1 : pstate 1 (1100 MHz)

Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

In short, aftereffect of the wrong P-state is that
cpufreq_stats_update() uses "-1" as index for some array in

cpufreq_stats_update (unsigned int cpu)
{
...
     if (stat->time_in_state)
                stat->time_in_state[stat->last_index] =
                        cputime64_add(stat->time_in_state[stat->last_index],
                                      cputime_sub(cur_time, stat->last_time));
...
}

Fortunately, the wrong P-state value is returned only if the core is
in P-state 0. This fix solves the problem by detecting the
out-of-range P-state, ignoring it, and using "0" instead.
