[PATCH][RFC] cpufreq: intel_pstate: Avoid time-costly synchronization if schedutil is not enabled

[yu . c . chen]

From: Chen Yu <yu.c.chen@xxxxxxxxx>

Commit bb6ab52f2bef ("intel_pstate: Do not set utilization update
hook too early") moved the assignment of utilization update hook
from intel_pstate_init_cpu to intel_pstate_set_policy(), however
after moving, we need to leverage synchronize_sched() to deal
with synchronization, which is time-costly because it needs to
wait for all the CPUs to go through a grace period.

Actuall we don't need to synchronize_sched if schedutil has
not been enabled, which also can address the problem in our case,
thus bypass the synchronize_sched during bootup.

Fixes: bb6ab52f2bef "intel_pstate: Do not set utilization update hook too early"
