Commit 941f5f0f6ef5 (x86: CPU: Fix up "cpu MHz" in /proc/cpuinfo) caused
a serious performance issue when reading from /proc/cpuinfo on system
with aperfmperf.
For each cpu, arch_freq_get_on_cpu() sleeps 20ms to get its frequency.
On a system with 64 cpus, it takes 1.5s to finish running `cat
/proc/cpuinfo`, while it previously was done in 15ms.
Some programs use /proc/cpuinfo during startup or runtime, eg. QEMU.
This patch will restore the previous behavior and let user space happy.
