cpufreq: intel_pstate: Fix max_freq fallback in cpufreq_update_pressure()
After commit d2d5c129d07e ("cpufreq: Make cpufreq_update_pressure() fall back to cpuinfo.max_freq"), cpufreq pressure appears in the CPU load balancer unexpectedly in some cases in which it was not present before, leading to confusion and uncertainty. Clearly, the scheduler assumes that cpufreq pressure will not be set unless the capacity reference frequency of the CPU is known, and the commit mentioned above violates that assumption. However, in some cases the capacity reference frequency of the CPU is in fact known even though arch_scale_freq_ref() returns 0 and in those cases it should be possible to set cpufreq pressure as appropriate. For this purpose, introduce a new cpufreq driver callback returning the CPU capacity reference frequency, .scale_freq_ref(), and make cpufreq_update_pressure() invoke it, if present, instead of falling back to cpuinfo.max_freq unconditionally. Add that callback to the intel_pstate driver and make it return 0 unless the scale-invariant capacity of the given CPU has been explicitly set, in which cases its reference frequency is always cpuinfo.max_freq.
