[PATCH 2/3] cpufreq: intel_pstate: Avoid percentages in limits-related computations

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>

Currently, intel_pstate_update_perf_limits() first converts the
policy minimum and maximum limits into percentages of the maximum
turbo frequency (rounding up to an integer) and then converts these
percentages into fractions by using fixed-point arithmetic to divide
them by 100.

That introduces a rounding error unnecessarily, because the fractions
can be obtained by carrying out fixed-point divisions directly on the
input numbers.

Rework the computations in intel_pstate_hwp_set() to use fractions
instead of percentages (and drop redundant local variables from
there) and modify intel_pstate_update_perf_limits() to compute the
fractions directly and percentages out of them.

While at it, introduce percent_ext_fp() for converting percentages
to fractions (with extended number of fraction bits) and use it in
the computations.
