This patch addresses Bug 60727
(https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60727)
which was due to the truncation of intermediate values in the
calculations, which causes the code to consistently underestimate the
current cpu frequency, specifically 100% cpu utilization was truncated
down to the setpoint of 97%. This patch fixes the problem by keeping
the results of all intermediate calculations as fixed point numbers
rather scaling them back and forth between integers and fixed point.

Tested on my Intel Core i7 2640M which also suffered from bug 60727. It
is possible that some of the constants in the default_policy should
be changed, because I notice that my cpu tends to run slightly faster
with this patch, which makes sense because calculated values would have
been consistently low without the patch.
