3.11.10.8 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Daniel Fu <danifu@nvidia.com>

commit 3b9c10e98021e1f92e6f8c7ce1778b86ba68db10 upstream.

If the current CPU has no cpuidle driver, drv will be NULL in
cpuidle_driver_ref().  Check if that is the case before trying
to bump up the driver's refcount to prevent the kernel from
crashing.
