cpufreq: conservative: Fix sampling_down_factor functionality

sampling_down_factor tunable is unused since commit
8e677ce83bf41ba9c74e5b6d9ee60b07d4e5ed93 (4 years ago).

This patch restores the original functionality and documents the
tunable.

cpufreq: conservative: Fix the logic in frequency decrease checking

When we evaluate the CPU load for frequency decrease we have to compare
the load against down_threshold. There is no need to subtract 10 points
from down_threshold.

Instead, we have to use the default down_threshold or user's selection
unmodified.

cpufreq: conservative: Use an inline function to evaluate freq_target

Use an inline function to evaluate freq_target to avoid duplicate code.

Also, define a macro for the default frequency step.

cpufreq: conservative: fix requested_freq reduction issue

When decreasing frequency, requested_freq may be less than
freq_target, So requested_freq minus freq_target may be negative,
But reqested_freq's unit is unsigned int, then the negative result
will be one larger interger which may be even higher than
requested_freq.

This patch is to fix such issue. when result becomes negative,
set requested_freq as the min value of policy.
