cpufreq: ondemand: add sysfs entry for down_diff_multi_core

This change adds sysfs entry for the ondemand governor's attribute
down_differential_multi_core. This is required to be able to program
this knob to attain better perf/power for use cases like camcorder.

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: 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.

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.
