When Floor Performance feature is supported by the platform, expose
two sysfs files:

* amd_pstate_floor_freq to allow userspace to request the floor
frequency for each CPU.

* amd_pstate_floor_count which advertises the number of distinct
levels of floor frequencies supported on this platform.

just return cpudata->floor_perf_cnt instead of having a local variable.
