If the cpufreq driver hasn't set the CPUFREQ_HAVE_GOVERNOR_PER_POLICY
flag, then the kernel will crash on accessing sysfs files for the sched
governor.
CPUFreq governors we can have the governor specific sysfs files in two
places:
A. /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpufreq/<governor>
B. /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/<governor>
The case A. is for governor per policy case, where we can control the
governor tunables for each policy separately. The case B. is for system
wide tunable values.
The schedfreq governor only implements the case A. and not B. The sysfs
files in case B will still be present in
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/<governor>, but accessing them will
crash kernel as the governor doesn't support that.
Moreover the sched governor is pretty new and will be used only for the
ARM platforms and there is no need to support the case B at all.
Hence use policy->kobj instead of get_governor_parent_kobj(), so that we
always create the sysfs files in path A.

Two fixups that have been reported on LKML. The next version of
scheduler-driver cpu frequency selection patch set should include
these fixes and we can drop this patch then.

cpufreq_sched_limits (called when CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS event happens)
bails out if policy->rwsem is already locked. However, that rwsem is
always guaranteed to be locked when we get here after a thermal
throttling event happens:
th_throttling ->
cpufreq_update_policy()
...
down_write(&policy->rwsem);
...
cpufreq_set_policy() ->
...
__cpufreq_governor(policy, CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS); ->
cpufreq_sched_limits()
...
if (!down_write_trylock(&policy->rwsem))
return; <-- BAIL OUT!
So, we don't currently react immediately to thermal capping event (even
if reaction is still quick in practice, ~1ms, as lots of events are likely
to trigger a frequency selection on a high loaded system).
Fix this bug by removing the bail out condition.
While we are at it we also slightly change handling of the new limits by
clamping the last requested_freq between policy's max and min. Doing so
gives us the oppurtunity to correctly restore the last requested
frequency as soon as a thermal unthrottling event happens.

Contains:
sched/cpufreq_sched: use shorter throttle for raising OPP
Avoid cases where a brief drop in load causes a change to a low OPP
for the full throttle period. Use a shorter throttle period for
raising OPP than for lowering OPP.

Scheduler-driven CPU frequency selection hopes to exploit both
per-task and global information in the scheduler to improve frequency
selection policy, achieving lower power consumption, improved
responsiveness/performance, and less reliance on heuristics and
tunables. For further discussion on the motivation of this integration
see [0].
This patch implements a shim layer between the Linux scheduler and the
cpufreq subsystem. The interface accepts capacity requests from the
CFS, RT and deadline sched classes. The requests from each sched class
are summed on each CPU with a margin applied to the CFS and RT
capacity requests to provide some headroom. Deadline requests are
expected to be precise enough given their nature to not require
headroom. The maximum total capacity request for a CPU in a frequency
domain drives the requested frequency for that domain.
Policy is determined by both the sched classes and this shim layer.
Note that this algorithm is event-driven. There is no polling loop to
check cpu idle time nor any other method which is unsynchronized with
the scheduler, aside from a throttling mechanism to ensure frequency
changes are not attempted faster than the hardware can accommodate them.
