cpufreq: ACPI: Defer setting boost MSRs
When acpi-cpufreq is loaded, boost is enabled on every CPU (by setting an MSR) before the driver is registered with cpufreq. This can be very time consuming, because it is done with a CPU hotplug startup callback, and cpuhp_setup_state() schedules the callback (cpufreq_boost_online()) to run on each CPU one at a time, waiting for each to run before calling the next. If cpufreq_register_driver() fails--if, for example, there are no ACPI P-states present--this is wasted time. Since cpufreq already sets up a CPU hotplug startup callback if and when acpi-cpufreq is registered, set the boost MSRs in acpi_cpufreq_cpu_init(), which is called by the cpufreq cpuhp callback. This allows acpi-cpufreq to exit quickly if it is loaded but not needed. On one system with 192 CPUs, this patch speeds up boot by about 30 seconds.
