cpufreq: schedutil: Reset cached_raw_freq when not in sync with next_freq
'cached_raw_freq' is used to get the next frequency quickly but should always be in sync with sg_policy->next_freq. There is a case where it is not and in such cases it should be reset to avoid switching to incorrect frequencies. Consider this case for example: - policy->cur is 1.2 GHz (Max) - New request comes for 780 MHz and we store that in cached_raw_freq. - Based on 780 MHz, we calculate the effective frequency as 800 MHz. - We then see the CPU wasn't idle recently and choose to keep the next freq as 1.2 GHz. - Now we have cached_raw_freq is 780 MHz and sg_policy->next_freq is 1.2 GHz. - Now if the utilization doesn't change in then next request, then the next target frequency will still be 780 MHz and it will match with cached_raw_freq. But we will choose 1.2 GHz instead of 800 MHz here.
