[PATCH 5.15 054/179] cpufreq: intel_pstate: Fix active mode offline/online EPP handling

commit ed38eb49d101e829ae0f8c0a0d3bf5cb6bcbc6b2 upstream.

After commit 4adcf2e5829f ("cpufreq: intel_pstate: Add ->offline and
->online callbacks") the EPP value set by the "performance" scaling
algorithm in the active mode is not restored after an offline/online
cycle which replaces it with the saved EPP value coming from user
space.

Address this issue by forcing intel_pstate_hwp_set() to set a new
EPP value when it runs first time after online.

Fixes: 4adcf2e5829f ("cpufreq: intel_pstate: Add ->offline and ->online callbacks")
