cpufreq: intel_pstate: Use HWP to initialize ITMT if CPPC is missing
It is reported that single-thread performance on some hybrid systems
dropped significantly after commit 7feec7430edd ("ACPI: CPPC: Only probe
for _CPC if CPPC v2 is acked") which prevented _CPC from being used if
the support for it had not been confirmed by the platform firmware.
The problem is that if the platform firmware does not confirm CPPC v2
support, cppc_get_perf_caps() returns an error which prevents the
intel_pstate driver from enabling ITMT. Consequently, the scheduler
does not get any hints on CPU performance differences, so in a hybrid
system some tasks may run on CPUs with lower capacity even though they
should be running on high-capacity CPUs.
To address this, modify intel_pstate to use the information from
MSR_HWP_CAPABILITIES to enable ITMT if CPPC is not available (which is
done already if the highest performance number coming from CPPC is not
realistic).
