cpufreq: qcom-cpufreq-hw: Use new thermal pressure update function

Browse Source 
Thermal pressure provides a new API, which allows to use CPU frequency
as an argument. That removes the need of local conversion to capacity.
Use this new API and remove old local conversion code.

The new arch_update_thermal_pressure() also accepts boost frequencies,
which solves issue in the driver code with wrong reduced capacity
calculation. The reduced capacity was calculated wrongly due to
'policy->cpuinfo.max_freq' used as a divider. The value present there was
actually the boost frequency. Thus, even a normal maximum frequency value
which corresponds to max CPU capacity (arch_scale_cpu_capacity(cpu_id))
is not able to remove the capping.

The second side effect which is solved is that the reduced frequency wasn't
properly translated into the right reduced capacity,
e.g.
boost frequency = 3000MHz (stored in policy->cpuinfo.max_freq)
max normal frequency = 2500MHz (which is 1024 capacity)
2nd highest frequency = 2000MHz (which translates to 819 capacity)

Then in a scenario when the 'throttled_freq' max allowed frequency was
2000MHz the driver translated it into 682 capacity:
capacity = 1024 * 2000 / 3000 = 682
Then set the pressure value bigger than actually applied by the HW:
max_capacity - capacity => 1024 - 682 = 342 (<- thermal pressure)
Which was causing higher throttling and misleading task scheduler
about available CPU capacity.
A proper calculation in such case should be:
capacity = 1024 * 2000 / 2500 = 819
1024 - 819 = 205 (<- thermal pressure)

This patch relies on the new arch_update_thermal_pressure() handling
correctly such use case (with boost frequencies).
