cpufreq: CPPC: Fix performance/frequency conversion

Browse source 
CPUfreq governors request CPU frequencies using information
on current CPU usage. The CPPC driver converts them to
performance requests. Frequency targets are computed as:
	target_freq = (util / cpu_capacity) * max_freq
target_freq is then clamped between [policy->min, policy->max].

The CPPC driver converts performance values to frequencies
(and vice-versa) using cppc_cpufreq_perf_to_khz() and
cppc_cpufreq_khz_to_perf(). These functions both use two different
factors depending on the range of the input value. For
cppc_cpufreq_khz_to_perf():
- (NOMINAL_PERF / NOMINAL_FREQ) or
- (LOWEST_PERF / LOWEST_FREQ)
and for cppc_cpufreq_perf_to_khz():
- (NOMINAL_FREQ / NOMINAL_PERF) or
- ((NOMINAL_PERF - LOWEST_FREQ) / (NOMINAL_PERF - LOWEST_PERF))

This means:
1- the functions are not inverse for some values:
   (perf_to_khz(khz_to_perf(x)) != x)
2- cppc_cpufreq_perf_to_khz(LOWEST_PERF) can sometimes give
   a different value from LOWEST_FREQ due to integer approximation
3- it is implied that performance and frequency are proportional
   (NOMINAL_FREQ / NOMINAL_PERF) == (LOWEST_PERF / LOWEST_FREQ)

This patch changes the conversion functions to an affine function.
This fixes the 3 points above.
