[PATCH] cpufreq: Fix ondemand governor powersave_bias executiontime misuse

From: Youquan Song

Ondemand governor use powersave_bias tunable to do aggressive power save by
decrease CPU average frequency. The average frequency achieve by adjust low and
high frequency's execution time proportion during one sample time interval.

Current kernel, only the high frequency executes in time proportion, but the low
frequency wrongly execute in one whole sample time interval when powersave_bias
is set.

The patch fix it by set low frequency execution time to it deserved.
