cpufreq: intel_pstate: Implement QoS supported freq constraints
Intel pstate driver exposes min_perf_pct and max_perf_pct sysfs files, which can be used to force a limit on the min/max P state of the driver. Though these files eventually control the min/max frequencies that the CPUs will run at, they don't make a change to policy->min/max values. When the values of these files are changed (in passive mode of the driver), it leads to calling ->limits() callback of the cpufreq governors, like schedutil. On a call to it the governors shall forcefully update the frequency to come within the limits. Since the limits, i.e. policy->min/max, aren't updated by the driver, the governors fails to get the target freq within limit and sometimes aborts the update believing that the frequency is already set to the target value. This patch implements the QoS supported frequency constraints to update policy->min/max values whenever min_perf_pct or max_perf_pct files are updated. This is only done for the passive mode as of now, as the driver is already working fine in active mode.
