cpu_freq does not work in (at least) Linux Ubuntu 16.04 and Mint 17.2

[roko-p]

Trying to import cpu_freq from psutil (latest - 5.1.3) on Linux Mint 17.2 fails. The function does not get defined because there is no /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq on the system (as per this line)

There is, however, /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq (and for cpu1, cpu2..)

On Ubuntu 16.04 (at least this one machine), there is /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq but it is empty and therefore cpu_freq() just returns an empty list

Feel free to provide a PR if you can

on 5.10.104-linuxkit (version used by Python3.9 Docker image) cpu_freq() returns None because /proc/cpuinfo only gives a value in BogoMIPS:

BogoMIPS	: 48.00

i am not sure if this is actionable by you but i thought i would mention it.
