[PATCH v3] sched/cpufreq: optimize cpufreq update kicker to avoid update multiple times

[Wanpeng Li]

From: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Sometimes delta_exec is 0 due to update_curr() is called multiple times,
this is captured by:

	u64 delta_exec = rq_clock_task(rq) - curr->se.exec_start;

This patch optimizes the cpufreq update kicker by bailing out when nothing 
changed, it will benefit the upcoming schedutil, since otherwise it will 
(over)react to the special util/max combination.
