Subject: [PATCH 1/1] cpufreq: Rewire arch specific feedback for cpuinfo/scaling_cur_freq

Some architectures provide a way to determine an average frequency over
a certain period of time, based on available performance monitors (AMU on
ARM or APERF/MPERf on x86). With those at hand, enroll arch_freq_get_on_cpu
into cpuinfo_cur_freq policy sysfs attribute handler, which is expected to
represent the current frequency of a given CPU,as obtained by the hardware.
This is the type of feedback that counters do provide.
At the same time, keep the scaling_cur_freq attribute align with the docs
and make it provide most recently requested frequency, still allowing to
fallback to using arch_freq_get_on_cpu for cases when cpuinfo_cur_freq is
not available.
