cpufreq: expose a cpufreq_quick_get_max routine

This allows drivers and other code to get the max reported CPU frequency.
Initial use is for scaling ring frequency with GPU frequency in the i915
driver.

[CPUFREQ] update lpj only if frequency has changed

During scaling up of cpu frequency, loops_per_jiffy
is updated upon invoking PRECHANGE notifier.
If setting to new frequency fails in cpufreq driver,
lpj is left at incorrect value.

Hence update lpj only if cpu frequency is changed,
i.e. upon invoking POSTCHANGE notifier.

Penalty would be that during time period between
changing cpu frequency & invocation of POSTCHANGE
notifier, udelay(x) may not gurantee minimal delay
of 'x' us for frequency scaling up operation.

Perhaps a better solution would be to define
CPUFREQ_ABORTCHANGE & handle accordingly, but then
it would be more intrusive (using ABORTCHANGE may
help drivers also; if any has registered notifier
and expect POST for a PRECHANGE, their needs can
be taken care using ABORT)

cpufreq: Add cpu utilization statistics to aid decisions made by userspace.

Understanding system load as seen by cpufreq can help userspace
algorithms make better decisions to improve system responsiveness.
One such example would be the MP decision algorithm which mines
various system info to make decisions on hotplugging in/out
the additional cores.

This is because store() in cpufreq.c indirectly grabs a kobject
with kobject_get() and is the last one to call kobject_put()
indirectly via cpufreq_cpu_put().

Fix this deadlock by introducing two new functions,
cpufreq_cpu_get_sysfs() and cpufreq_cpu_put_sysfs() which do the
same thing as cpufreq_cpu_{get,put}() but don't grab the kobject.

cpufreq: Retain only online cpus in managed_policy->cpus

cpufreq's handling of cpu online event can incorrectly initialize
managed_policy->cpus to include offline cpus. This causes cpufreq
governors to include offline cpus in their idle time computation, which
causes frequency to shoot up beyond normal levels (on systems where 2 or
more cpus need to be synchronized wrt frequency change).

This frequency shootup was not seen prior to commit 21111be8 which
changed idle time accounting for offline cpus. Prior to commit 21111be8,
idle time statistics for offline cpus would include their offline time
as well. Post commit 21111be8, offline time is not included in a cpu's
idle time statistics.

As a result, ondemand (or other cpufreq) governors would see unchanged
idle time for offline cpus, causing them to interpret those (offline)
cpus as 100% busy, which is wrong.

This patch fixes the issue by modifying cpufreq's hotplug handling to
retain only online cpus in managed_policy->cpus field. cpufreq governors
would then skip such offline cpus from idle time calculations.

msm: cpufreq: Only apply driver limits for scaling_min/max_freq writes

When new values are written to scaling_min/max_freq sysfs files, the
current code applies all the limits imposed by various ADJUST and
INCOMPATIBLE notifiers handlers before storing them.

When the ADJUST and/or INCOMPATIBLE notifiers change their limits
frequently, this behavior makes it almost impossible for a
user/userspace process to store the scaling_min/max_freq limits
that go beyond the instantaneous limits imposed by the notifiers.
Since these sysfs nodes are typically meant to set limits that need
to be enforced for the foreseeable future, this is not a very user
friendly behavior.

So, change the behavior to only apply limits that are enforced by
the cpufreq driver. Typically, these are just the absolute limits
of the HW and don't change very often.

cpufreq: Save user policy min/max instead of policy min/max during hotplug

When a CPU is hotplugged off, various fields of the policy are saved so
that they can be restored when the CPU is hotplugged back in.

The existing code saves the policy min/max field during hotplug remove and
restores it into user policy min/max during hotplug add. This results in
the loss of the user policy min/max values across a hotplug remove/add.

Fix it by saving the user policy min/max instead of policy min/max during
hotplug remove. During a hotplug add, after user policy min/max is
restored, the policy min/max is already recomputed. So, there's no risk of
going beyound any limits imposed by the CPUFREQ_ADJUST/INCOMPATIBLE
notifiers.

cpufreq: Fix policy getting stuck when user & kernel min/max don't overlap

Every __cpufreq_set_policy starts with checking the new policy min/max has
some overlap with the current policy min/max. This works out fine until we
end up with the policy min/max being set to a range that doesn't overlap
with the user policy min/max. Once we get into this situation, the check at
the start of __cpufreq_set_policy fails and prevents us from getting out of
this state.

This only happens when one of the CPUFREQ_ADJUST/CPUFREQ_INCOMPATIBLE
notifiers called inside __cpufreq_set_policy pick a min/max outside the
range of user policy min/max.

The real intent of the check at the start of __cpufreq_set_policy is to
make sure userspace can't set user policy min > user policy max. Since
__cpufreq_set_policy always gets called only with current user policy
min/max except when the actual user space policy min/max is changed, we can
fix the issue by simply checking the new policy min/max against current
user policy min/max.
