Presently acpi-cpufreq will perform the MSR read on the first CPU in the
mask.  That's inefficient if that CPU differs from the current CPU. 
Because we have to perform a cross-CPU call, but we could have run the
rdmsr on the current CPU.

So switch to using the new smp_call_function_any(), whcih will perform the
call on the current CPU if that CPU is present in the mask (it is).
