fix: crash: IP: __bitmap_intersects+0x48/0x73

arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c is still broken: there's no
allocation of the variable mask, so we pass in an uninitialized cmd.mask
field to drv_read(), which then passes it to the scheduler which then
crashes ...

Switch it over to the much simpler constant-cpumask-pointers approach.
