cpufreq: interactive: Reset floor_validate_time if busy at max for 100ms

When the interactive governor selects to run at max frequency it doesn't
re-schedule the timer until it hits an idle. This change checks if the CPU
has been continuously busy for last 100ms on hitting an idle start. If yes,
then floor_validate_time is reset so that the CPU stays at max frequency
for at least another 100 ms before stepping down.
This is an important feature for detecting CPU intensive workloads which
require high frequencies for achieving better performance.

cpufreq: interactive: sync freq feature for interactive governor

1) Add load info to cpufreq_interactive_cpuinfo
2) If load on any other online cpu exceeds sync_freq_load_threshold,
   do not allow the frequency to drop below sync_freq

Adapted to fit my earlier changes to the governor.

cpufreq: interactive: Remove trace event from idle_start handler

Removed the trace_cpufreq_interactive_idle_start.
Also fix a crash resulting from accessing NULL policy before taking
the pcpu->enable_sem lock. The policy can be NULL if the core is
hotplugged out before the enable_sem lock is taken.

kthread: Implement park/unpark facility

To avoid the full teardown/setup of per cpu kthreads in the case of
cpu hot(un)plug, provide a facility which allows to put the kthread
into a park position and unpark it when the cpu comes online again.

smp, idle: Allocate idle thread for each possible cpu during boot

percpu areas are already allocated during boot for each possible cpu.
percpu idle threads can be considered as an extension of the percpu areas,
and allocate them for each possible cpu during boot.

This will eliminate the need for workqueue based idle thread allocation.
In future we can move the idle thread area into the percpu area too.

[ tglx: Moved the loop into smpboot.c and added an error check when
  the init code failed to allocate an idle thread for a cpu which
  should be onlined ]
