There are cases for CPUfreq driver flags to be exposed outside of the
CPUfreq core code. In particular the CPUFREQ_NO_SLEEP flag can be used
by CPUfreq governors to optimize when and how they call that drivers
.target callback. In fact this knowledge is a requirement for the
on-going work to initiate cpu frequency transitions from the scheduler.

This patch implements a simple function to return the CPUfreq driver
flags. While currently the flags are a u8, that could grow at a future
date and cpufreq_driver_get_flags returns an int. Additionally the
function needs to return an error in case no driver is registered.
