I agree.

I did it because I am required to use these macros for the
interactive-governor and have to move them to cpufreq.h anyway.

Now that we have to move them out, I thought that we should perhaps
use them for schedutil as well. This would look more relevant to
schedutil once it has more tunables instead of just one.
