cpufreq: intel_pstate: Active mode P-state limits rework

The coordination of P-state limits used by intel_pstate in the active
mode (ie. by default) is problematic, because it synchronizes all of
the limits (ie. the global ones and the per-policy ones) so as to use
one common pair of P-state limits (min and max) across all CPUs in
the system.  The drawbacks of that are as follows:

 - If P-states are coordinated in hardware, it is not necessary
   to coordinate them in software on top of that, so in that case
   all of the above activity is in vain.

 - If P-states are not coordinated in hardware, then the processor
   is actually capable of setting different P-states for different
   CPUs and coordinating them at the software level simply doesn't
   allow that capability to be utilized.

 - The coordination works in such a way that setting a per-policy
   limit (eg. scaling_max_freq) for one CPU causes the common
   effective limit to change (and it will affect all of the other
   CPUs too), but subsequent reads from the corresponding sysfs
   attributes for the other CPUs will return stale values (which
   is confusing).

 - Reads from the global P-state limit attributes, min_perf_pct and
   max_perf_pct, return the effective common values and not the last
   values set through these attributes.  However, the last values
   set through these attributes become hard limits that cannot be
   exceeded by writes to scaling_min_freq and scaling_max_freq,
   respectively, and they are not exposed, so essentially users
   have to remember what they are.

All of that is painful enough to warrant a change of the management
of P-state limits in the active mode.

To that end, redesign the active mode P-state limits management in
intel_pstate in accordance with the following rules:

 (1) All CPUs are affected by the global limits (that is, none of
     them can be requested to run faster than the global max and
     none of them can be requested to run slower than the global
     min).

 (2) Each individual CPU is affected by its own per-policy limits
     (that is, it cannot be requested to run faster than its own
     per-policy max and it cannot be requested to run slower than
     its own per-policy min).

 (3) The global and per-policy limits can be set independently.

Also, the global maximum and minimum P-state limits will be always
expressed as percentages of the maximum supported turbo P-state.
