powercap/drivers/dtpm: Scale the power with the load
Currently the power consumption is based on the current OPP power assuming the entire performance domain is fully loaded. That gives very gross power estimation and we can do much better by using the load to scale the power consumption. Use the utilization to normalize and scale the power usage over the max possible power. Tested on a rock960 with 2 big CPUS, the power consumption estimation conforms with the expected one.
