If fast_switch_possible flag is set by the scaling driver, the governor
is free to select fast_switch function even if adjust_perf is set.  Some
scaling drivers which use adjust_perf don't set fast_switch thinking
that the governor would never fall back to fast_switch. But the governor
can fall back to fast_switch even in runtime if frequency invariance is
disabled due to some reason. This could crash the kernel if the driver
didn't set the fast_switch function pointer.

Therefore, return failure in cpufreq_online function if fast_switch is
not set and fast_switch_possible is set.
