[PATCH v6 9/9] cpufreq: intel_pstate: Use CPPC to get max performance

This change uses acpi cppc_lib interface to get CPPC performance limits
and calls scheduler interface to update per cpu highest priority. If
there is a difference in highest performance of each CPUs, call scheduler
interface to enable ITMT feature for only one time.

Here sched_set_itmt_core_prio() is called to set priorities and
sched_set_itmt_support() is called to enable ITMT feature.
