[PATCH] cpufreq: CPPC: use 10ms delay instead of 2us to avoid high error

[Yang Shi]

When testing CPPC cpufreq on our platform, we noticed the error may be quite
high and the high error may happen quite often.  For example, on a platform
with a maximum frequency of 2.8GHz when the CPUs were fully loaded (100% load),
we saw cpuinfo_cur_freq may show 4GHz, it means the error is > 40%.  And the
high error (> 1%) happened 256 times out of 2127 samples (sampled every 3
seconds) in an approximate 2hrs test.

We tried to enlarge the delay, and tested with 100us, 1ms and 10ms.  The
below is the results.

100us:
The highest error is 4GHz, 22 times out of 3623 samples

1ms:
The highest error is 3.3GHz, 3 times out of 2814 samples

10ms:
No high error anymore

Increase the measurement delay in cppc_cpufreq_get_rate to 10ms to avoid
high measurement errors.
