sched/fair: Fix !CONFIG_SMP kernel cpufreq governor breakage

The following commit:

  34e2c555f3e1 ("cpufreq: Add mechanism for registering utilization update 
callbacks")

overlooked the fact that update_load_avg(), where CFS invokes cpufreq
utilization update callbacks, becomes an empty stub on UP kernels.

In consequence, if !CONFIG_SMP, cpufreq governors are never invoked
from CFS and they do not have a chance to evaluate CPU performace
levels and update them often enough.

Needless to say, things don't work as expected then.

Fix the problem by making the !CONFIG_SMP stub of update_load_avg()
invoke cpufreq update callbacks too.
