This change does not take into account that some BIOSes change
MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE_TURBO_DISABLE depending on the power source.
If the turbo is disabled when the system boots, policy.max_freq
is set to pstate.max_pstate. However, if the BIOS later enables
the turbo, the CPU will never be able to run at pstate.turbo_pstate.
Since now intel_pstate_set_policy() does its calculations using
pstate.max_freq and pstate.turbo_freq, we can always calculate
cpuinfo.max_freq using pstate.turbo_pstate, thus allowing system
with varying MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE_TURBO_DISABLE to run at full
speed when the turbo is enabled.
This reverts commit 983e600e88835f0321d1a0ea06f52d48b7b5a544.
