If the policy limits are updated via cpufreq_update_policy() and subsequently via sysfs, the limits stored in user_policy may be set incorrectly. For example, if both min and max are set via sysfs to the maximum available frequency, user_policy.min and user_policy.max will also be the maximum. If a policy notifier triggered by cpufreq_update_policy() lowers both the min and the max at this point, that change is not reflected by the user_policy limits, so if the max is updated again via sysfs to the same lower value, then user_policy.max will be lower than user_policy.min which shouldn't happen. In particular, if one of the policy CPUs is then taken offline and back online, cpufreq_set_policy() will fail for it due to a failing limits check. To prevent that from happening, initialize the min and max fields of the new_policy object to the ones stored in user_policy that were previously set via sysfs.
