[ 083/102] cpufreq / intel_pstate: remove idle time and duration from sample and calculations

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dirk Brandewie <dirk.j.brandewie@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 1abc4b20b85b42e8573957e54b193385cf48b0d6 upstream.

Idle time is taken into account in the APERF/MPERF ratio calculation
there is no reason for the driver to track it seperately.  This
reduces the work in the driver and makes the code more readable.

Removal of the tracking of sample duration removes the possibility of
the divide by zero exception when the duration is sub 1us
