cpufreq: intel_pstate: Fix ->set_policy() interface for no_turbo
commit 983e600e upstream. When turbo is disabled, the ->set_policy() interface is broken. For example, when turbo is disabled and cpuinfo.max = 2900000 (full max turbo frequency), setting the limits results in frequency less than the requested one: Set 1000000 KHz results in 0700000 KHz Set 1500000 KHz results in 1100000 KHz Set 2000000 KHz results in 1500000 KHz This is because the limits->max_perf fraction is calculated using the max turbo frequency as the reference, but when the max P-State is capped in intel_pstate_get_min_max(), the reference is not the max turbo P-State. This results in reducing max P-State. One option is to always use max turbo as reference for calculating limits. But this will not be correct. By definition the intel_pstate sysfs limits, shows percentage of available performance. So when BIOS has disabled turbo, the available performance is max non turbo. So the max_perf_pct should still show 100%.
