cpufreq: amd-pstate: cpufreq: amd-pstate: reset MSR_AMD_PERF_CTL register at init

Browse Source 
MSR_AMD_PERF_CTL is guaranteed to be 0 on a cold boot. However, on a
kexec boot, for instance, it may have a non-zero value (if the cpu was
in a non-P0 Pstate).  In such cases, the cores with non-P0 Pstates at
boot will never be pushed to P0, let alone boost frequencies.

Kexec is a common workflow for reboot on Linux and this creates a
regression in performance. Fix it by explicitly setting the
MSR_AMD_PERF_CTL to 0 during amd_pstate driver init.
