[PATCH 05/70] cpufreq: interactive: don't drop speed if recently at higher load

[BÃlint Czobor]

From: Todd Poynor <toddpoynor@xxxxxxxxxx>

Apply min_sample_time to the last time the current target speed
was originally requested or re-validated as appropriate for the
current load, not to the time since the current speed was
originally set.  Avoids periodic dips in speed during bursty
loads.
