sched/cpufreq: Optimize cpufreq update kicker to avoid update multiple times

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.
