cpufreq: Add cpu-boost driver

When certain bursty and important events take place, it might take a while
for the current cpufreq governor to notice the new load and react to it.
That would result in poor user experience. To alleviate this, the cpu-boost
driver boosts the frequency of a CPU for a short duration to maintain good
user experience while the governor catches up.

Specifically, this commit deals with ensuring that when "important" tasks
migrate from a fast CPU to a slow CPU, the frequency of the slow CPU is
boosted to be at least as high as the fast CPU for a short duration.

Since this driver enforces the boost by hooking into standard cpufreq
ADJUST notifiers, it has several advantages:
- More portable across kernel versions where the cpufreq internals might
  have been rewritten.
- Governor agnostic and hence works with multiple governors like
  conservative, ondemand, interactive, etc.
- Does not affect the sampling period/logic of existing governors.
- Can have the boost period adjusted independent of governor sampling
  period.

cpufreq: Add a sync limit to cpu-boost

Perform frequency synchronization only when source CPU's frequency
is less than sync_threshold, else sync to the sync_threshold.

cpufreq: ondemand:kernel NULL pointer dereference at dbs_check_cpu

Function dbs_check_cpu  calls __cpufreq_driver_getavg
With  policy as IN/OUT parameter.
There is possiblity of policy becoming NULL in
 __cpufreq_driver_getavg. Same policy is getting
accessed in the for loop which leads to NULL pointer dereference.
So NULL check is required for the policy

cpufreq: Add Input Boost feature to the cpu-boost driver

On incoming input events boost the frequency of all online cpus
for at least input_boost_ms ms. This is accomplished by changing
the policy->min of all the online cpus to input_boost_freq.

cpufreq: Disable cpu-boost by default

Disable cpu-boost by default, so that it can be turned ON only by
setting the module parameter boost_ms through command prompt when
required.

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

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

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.
