cpufreq: governors: clean timer init and exit code

Drop unused arguments from dbs_timer_init and clean dbs_timer_exit and
cpufreq_governor_dbs to remove non necessary special cases.

cpufreq: governors: implement generic policy_is_shared
Implement a generic helper function policy_is_shared() to replace the
current dbs_sw_coordinated_cpus() at cpufreq level, so that it can be
used by code other than cpufreq governors.

cpufreq: governors: fix misuse of cdbs.cpu

Fix governors code to set all cpu's cdbs->cpu to the the actual cpu id
and use cur_policy->cpu istead of cdbs->cpu to track current governor's
leader cpu.

cpufreq: governors: Remove code redundancy between governors

With the inclusion of following patches:

9f4eb10 cpufreq: conservative: call dbs_check_cpu only when necessary
772b4b1 cpufreq: ondemand: call dbs_check_cpu only when necessary

code redundancy between the conservative and ondemand governors is
introduced again, so get rid of it.

cpufreq: ondemand: Replace down_differential tuner with adj_up_threshold

In order to avoid the calculation of up_threshold - down_differential
every time that the frequency must be decreased, we replace the
down_differential tuner with the adj_up_threshold which keeps the
difference across multiple checks.

Update the adj_up_threshold only when the up_theshold is also updated.

cpufreq: ondemand: Change the calculation of target frequency
Adapted from Linux 3.12 --mrg666
The ondemand governor calculates load in terms of frequency and
increases it only if load_freq is greater than up_threshold
multiplied by the current or average frequency.  This appears to
produce oscillations of frequency between min and max because,
for example, a relatively small load can easily saturate minimum
frequency and lead the CPU to the max.  Then, it will decrease
back to the min due to small load_freq.

Change the calculation method of load and target frequency on the
basis of the following two observations:

 - Load computation should not depend on the current or average
   measured frequency.  For example, absolute load of 80% at 100MHz
   is not necessarily equivalent to 8% at 1000MHz in the next
   sampling interval.

 - It should be possible to increase the target frequency to any
   value present in the frequency table proportional to the absolute
   load, rather than to the max only, so that:

   Target frequency = C * load

   where we take C = policy->cpuinfo.max_freq / 100.

Tested on Intel i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz and on Quad core 1500MHz Krait.
Phoronix benchmark of Linux Kernel Compilation 3.1 test shows an
increase ~1.5% in performance. cpufreq_stats (time_in_state) shows
that middle frequencies are used more, with this patch.  Highest
and lowest frequencies were used less by ~9%.

[rjw: We have run multiple other tests on kernels with this
 change applied and in the vast majority of cases it turns out
 that the resulting performance improvement also leads to reduced
 consumption of energy.  The change is additionally justified by
 the overall simplification of the code in question.]
