cpufreq: ondemand: Remove unnecessary synchronization attempt

Commit 1ce28d6b (ondemand: updated tune for hardware coordination)
brings in an attempt to synchronize expiry of per-cpu ondemand timer
at same time across all online cpus. This is meant to help systems
where "multiple cores share P-state via Hardware Coordination".

Synchronization is achieved by having timers expire when jiffy value
would be a perfect multiple of sampling window size. While such
synchronozation attemps are unnecessary on systems where cores don't
share P-states, it can hurt on power as cpus can now work off shorter
sampling windows (when percentage utilization over short window can be
observed to be high, causing frequency to be boosted).

Remove this unnecessary attempt to synchronize expiry of ondemand
timer across online cpus. A more acceptable solution could be to have
low-level architecture specific cpufreq driver indicate the need for
synchronization.

cpufreq: interactive: delete timers for GOV_START

Make sure that timers cpu_timer and cpu_slack_timer
deactivated before addition of new.

cpufreq: Sync on thread migration optimizations

When threads migrate between CPUs the destination CPU will temporarily
have a boosted frequency and the source CPU will have a residual higher
frequency even though the load could have just been reduced. To avoid
leaving CPUs at a high frequencies notify the source CPU after a thread
migration and make the interactive governor's timer reschedule
conditionally.

cpufreq: interactive: Don't reset sampling down factor at max freq

A previous patch sets the min_sample_time to zero if the cpufreq
min/max limits have changed which would bring down the frequency
in the next sample even if min_sample_time doesnt allow it to do so.
This could severly affect benchmarks if this is applied to max
frequencies as min_sample_time for max frequencies is set to
sampling_down_factor.
This patch resets the limits_changed flag for cases where timer fires
while running at max frequencies so that sampling_down_factor is
still applicable as before.

cpufreq: interactive: Remove unnecessary cpu_online() check

Cpufreq no longer calls governor callback for offlined cpus. i.e. All
policy->cpus are guaranteed to be online. Hence we don't need explicit check to
see if cpu is online or not.

cpufreq: cpu-boost: Re-issue boosts above minimum frequency

Frequency boosts where the source CPU frequency is greater than CPU's
minimum frequency should always go through regardless of the destination
CPU's current frequency. This fixes a performance issue where the governor
lowers the CPU frequency shortly after a thread is migrated to it because
the boost wasn't re-issued.

msm: cpufreq: Fix msm_cpufreq_get_freq() for sync CPUs

When CPUs are in sync, only CPU0 has a non-NULL cpu_clk. clk_get_rate()
on other cpu_clk will return 0. msm_cpufreq_get_freq() is used in multiple
places in cpufreq framework to determine current hardware frequency.

Fix msm_cpufreq_get_freq() to return the right hardware frequency for
systems with synchronous CPUs.
