[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3] examples/vm_power_manager: fix buffer overrun

The freqs array in freq_info struct has RTE_MAX_LCORE_FREQS elements,
yet the code can attempt to look at the index at  RTE_MAX_LCORE,
which may be greater than RTE_MAX_LCORE_FREQS. Fix to limit index to
RTE_MAX_LCORE_FREQS.

Fixes: d26c18c93260 ("examples/vm_power: cpu frequency in host")
Coverity issue: 337660
