[RFC PATCH v4 11/12] OPTIONAL: arch_topology: Start Energy Aware Scheduling

[Quentin Perret]

Energy Aware Scheduling (EAS) starts when the scheduling domains are
built if the Energy Model (EM) is present. However, in the typical case
of Arm/Arm64 systems, the EM is provided after the scheduling domains
are first built at boot time, which results in EAS staying disabled.

Fix this issue by re-building the scheduling domain from the arch
topology driver, once CPUfreq is up and running and when the CPU
capacities have been updated to their final value.
