arch_topology: Allow multiple entities to provide sched_freq_tick() callback
This patch attempts to make it generic enough so other parts of the kernel can also provide their own implementation of scale_freq_tick() callback, which is called by the scheduler periodically to update the per-cpu arch_freq_scale variable. The implementations now need to provide 'struct scale_freq_data' for the CPUs for which they have hardware counters available, and a callback gets registered for each possible CPU in a per-cpu variable. The arch specific (or ARM AMU) counters are updated to adapt to this and they take the highest priority if they are available, i.e. they will be used instead of CPPC based counters for example. The special code to rebuild the sched domains, in case invariance status change for the system, is moved out of arm64 specific code and is added to arch_topology.c. Note that this also defines SCALE_FREQ_SOURCE_CPUFREQ but doesn't use it and it is added to show that cpufreq is also acts as source of information for FIE and will be used by default if no other counters are supported for a platform.
