cpufreq: intel_pstate: Adjust policy->cur in active mode to policy

Browse source

Since arch_freq_get_on_cpu() on x86 falls back to cpufreq_quick_get(),
which effectively causes policy->cur to be returned when intel_pstate
is used, adjust intel_pstate_set_policy() to set policy->cur to reflect
the P-state that is actually going to be requested in the "performance"
policy case instead of setting it to policy->min (which is confusing
because it causes scaling_cur_freq to show the minimum frequency while
the CPU is likely running at the maximum one).

For this purpose, rearrange intel_pstate_set_policy() to handle the HWP
case separately, to avoid calling intel_pstate_set_pstate() pointlessly
with HWP enabled, and use the observation that with HWP enabled in the
active mode, the utilization update hook is only needed when HWP boost
is used and the policy is not "performance".
