I'm not sure what happens if there are two (or more) CPUs in the policy, though.

That case is almost certainly handled incorrectly here (or rather not
handled at all), but it may just happen to sort of work, because the
first exiting CPU will clear driver_data and the second one will
notice that it is NULL now.  Of course, that still is racy with
respect to governors etc, but I'd rather fix the driver properly.
