Change idle freq clamping back to the direct method, bypassing PM QoS
requests. The problem with using PM QoS requests is they call
(indirectly) the governors ->get_target_freq() which goes thru a
get_dev_status() cycle. The problem comes when the GPU becomes active
again and we remove the idle-clamp request, we go through another
get_dev_status() cycle for the period that the GPU has been idle, which
triggers the governor to lower the target freq excessively.
This partially reverts commit 7c0ffcd40b16 ("drm/msm/gpu: Respect PM QoS
constraints"), but preserves the use of boost QoS request, so that it
will continue to play nicely with other QoS requests such as a cooling
device. This also mostly undoes commit 78f815c1cf8f ("drm/msm: return the
average load over the polling period")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
