cpufreq: arm_big_little: fix frequency check when bL switcher is active

The check for correct frequency being set in bL_cpufreq_set_rate is
broken when the big.LITTLE switcher is active, for two reasons.

 1. The 'new_rate' variable gets overwritten before the test by the
 code calculating the frequency of the old cluster.

 2. The frequency returned by bL_cpufreq_get_rate will be the virtual
 frequency, not the actual one the intended version of new_rate contains.

This means the function always returns an error causing an endless
stream of: "cpufreq: __target_index: Failed to change cpu frequency: -5"

As the intent is to check for errors that clk_set_rate doesn't report
lets move the check to immediately after that and directly use
clk_get_rate, rather than the arm_big_little helpers which only confuse
matters. Also, update the comment to be hopefully clearer about the
purpose of the code.
