bizarre. It should default back to whatever CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_* option
was set.  (Arguably a bug in itself, as we don't track & restore them
on resume, so if you changed from the default after booting: splat)

Why you're getting the performance governor is puzzling though.
Can you enable CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEBUG=y, and boot with cpufreq.debug=7
and send the log from a transition across hibernate?

Also, does /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor 
have performance in *all* the cpus?
